Hey guys, I'm not so good when it comes to estimating power requirements for a rig, so would a Corsair 650W TX be enough to support; Asus P7P55D-E LX Intel i5 760 2x2GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM 640GB SATA3 HDD ATI HD5770 Thanks for any help.
Yes I'm pretty sure that'd be more than enough. Even a 550W would probably be enough.
Have you bought the computer yet?
Yes, it's enough.
[QUOTE=FINLEY;25618459]Have you bought the computer yet?[/QUOTE] No, this is something I'm hoping to have the funds for come Christmas/New year, just designing it for now.

I think I'll stick with the 650 in case I need to upgrade later on.
Don't decide on stuff yet if you are going to buy it for Christmas/New year.
[QUOTE=thf;25619158]Don't decide on stuff yet if you are going to buy it for Christmas/New year.[/QUOTE] Why not? If something new comes out that's better for less/the same price then I'll just keep revising the build.

I have almost the same setup with a 500w PSU
[QUOTE=jaybuz;25619725]I have almost the same setup with a 500w PSU[/QUOTE] Cutting it a bit fine in my opinion.

[QUOTE=BrokenSanity;25620036]Cutting it a bit fine in my opinion.[/QUOTE] not at all
Come back in two months with a budget and we'll make you a better build
[QUOTE=FINLEY;25620260]Come back in two months with a budget and we'll make you a better build[/QUOTE] Well currently my budget is around £700, I'll be keeping an eye on all things within the i5 mid-range gaming PC area so if something better comes out I won't miss it.
I already have this made, so just take the monitor off. Although as said above things may change it's something to aim for [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/savedbasket/cae5014107c345319d25b5fd78cf2407[/url]
i ran I7 920@4Ghz and Radeon HD5830 1Gb on Enermax Modu82+ 525W for some time before thunderstorm ended the story of my Enermax Modu82+ 525W so 650W for that is way more than enough.
