Corsair PSU?

[m0ssy]

Will this Corsair CX600W PSU be enough for this build? I plan on overclocking the 2500k to 4-4.5ghz and will overclock the GPU some more. I also plan on adding a ssd sometime in the future.

CPU: i5 2500k SB
Mobo: MSI p67a-c43 mobo
Ram: Ripjaws X 8gb ddr3 1600 1.5v (8-8-8-24)
GPU: Gtx 560 Superclocked
HSF: Hyper 212+
HDD : 500gb Seagate Barracuda
1 DVD drive
6 120mm fans

I think it would be plenty. Most of that stuff actually doesnt use much power. Only the video card there would be any type of high usage. Buy a Kill-A-Watt meter, they are educational and a lot of fun to tinker around with. Youll find for the most part, systems dont even get remotely close to the max wattage of a PSU. Oh, and 6 120mm fans? Really? I run 2 in my computer. Heh.

I was going to ask one question related to this, are all these seasonic internals? Specifically CX600? Anyone know?

Lol, I bought a NZXT gamma case. Has six fan slots, hope it's like a refrigerator.

Six is nothing ... I have four 140mm fans and four 120mm fans.

You're good as long as you don't have plans for SLI, in which case I'd up it to 750W.

Wow.....that contributed exactly nothing.

And better learn, there's always someone with better/more than you can brag about, like my 11 fans in my computer: seven 120mm, two 92mm and two 80mm.


So there!

My rig pulls about 300 watts max when I play Crysis. And that is with 40 watts of it coming from my monitor. Yours will pull nowhere near that.

Oh and that 300 watts is from the wall, not the amount the computer actually uses.
