I'm close to taking the plunge on a new GPU, but keep debating with myself whether I should go 670, 7950 or 7970.. One thing holding me back from the 7970 is the power consumption, as I'm unsure whether my 550W can handle it with an overclock along with my 2500K (4.1 GHz).
My PSU is rated at 17 amps on each of its two 12v rails, equaling 408W on the 12V.. Is this sufficient for running this system?
I won't be tampering with the voltage on the GPU, only clocks.
