Specs: AsRock Extreme4 Gen 3 Mobo Intel i5-2500k Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler 8GB Ripjaws (1600mhz) GTX 560Ti 1GB Twin Frozor II OC (In SLI) Samsung Spinpoint 500GB 32mb Cache 7200RPM CM 912 HAF Case 850w Silverstone 80+ PSU (Obviously to play BF3, Skyrim) Just wondering if i should change the PSU to maybe 700-750 as I think 850w is overkill, however I'm unsure whats happening with the 2011 Socket and this rig is supposed to last me for a couple of years. Anyway, cheers in advance
850w is overkill, yeah. 600-700w, depending on the model should be fine. LGA 2011 is not aimed at normal setups - don't worry about it. Your mobo will be able to support upgrades in future and the case has good enough airflow to accommodate those.
Sweet, so I'm all good?
