6870 purchase

[hackedhead]

I'm looking at getting an XFX 6870:

My PSU is 550W, Antec:

and motherboard is:

I'm currently running an i5-2600K and using it's onboard HD3000.

My setup supports this new card, right?
Am I missing anything?

This is my first foray into PCI-Express graphics cards and graphics cards that require external power, and I don't want to be left holding a card I can't even use....

Thanks.

Everything is compatible.

I think you're overpaying for that power supply. If you're willing to spend $100 you should opt for this 750W Corsair one. 15% code makes it 89.24 - $10.00 rebate = $79.24 A/R

The motherboard you linked shows as discontinued and out of stock.

He already owns the PSU and Motherboard.


That card will run perfectly fine on that PSU and board. You're not going to near the full potential of that PSU with one 6870.

Thanks all! Will probably pull the trigger on this today. =]
