need pc advises

by rAffou • 22 Mar 2011, 20:05 • Journals
About to buy a desktop pc (so far i was on a laptop), and I was wondering if a Artic Cooling 550R (550W) was enough for a AMD phenom II x6 + 4gb ddr3 1600mhz + nvidia GTX 560

Thanks!

go for a 650W atleast - Seasonic, Corsair, OCZ, ..

Search for PSU Calculators. And 650-700W should be more than enough.

u meant 6850 i guess. But no, 6 series are less powerfull than 5 ones, 5850 > 6850 , but my GTX 560 is equal a 6950 1gb

GeForce GTX 560 Ti TDP = 225 (peak 3D)
AMD phenom II x6 TDP max = 140
Mobo, HDD/SSD, DVD... = 50 max

=415 W

Fusion 550 should be ok
