Hey guys, I am looking to upgrade in the new year to probably the i7 2600K. And add another ATI 5850 for crossfire (maybe, I only play at 1650 x 1050 res, but looking to upgrade the monitor at a later date as well). I used http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine to check power rating and based the CPU on an i7 950 which has more power draw then the i7 2600K. and 3 sticks DDR3 ram and everything else I am keeping. It tells me min is 469 watt PSU and recommends a 519 watt PSU. Is there any reason I would need to upgrade my PSU for the i7 2600K. I am trying to keep the cost down as much as possible as long as I have enough power. I do love the silencer. it is probably one of the best PSU's I have had. Thanks guys. |

Well you can always try it, who knows if the new intel mobos will need a new connctor or not... |

It will be 'enough', however, it only has 2 PCI-E power connections so you'd have to use the silly adapters and you'd probably be running near it's max which will decrease it's life. A good single 12V rail 850W supply would be a good investment. |
