Hi folks,

I'm planning my first desktop build in a LOOOONG time (currently running an Athlon64 rig) and trying to get a handle on power requirements these days. Noticed a great deal on a Corsair PSU (CMPSU-650TX 650W) on newegg. Will it run the following setup?

Intel Core i5 750
Asus P55 P7P55D-E
Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C8 4GB
2x Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD 5770 (Crossfire)
OCZ Agility 60GB SSD
2x 7200rpm Seagate HDs
2x IDE optical drives

I need to know if the Corsair 650w PSU will be supplying enough juice. Thanks in advance for your help!

Those Corsairs are rock solid and should be enough but adding your wattage is recommended.

AMD recommends 450watt for 1 and 600watts for 2 so the Corsair 650watt should be rock solid.
