Hi guys.
I have OCZ GameXStream OCZGXS700 (700W) like more than year, using in curent PC
with PIV 3.74GH(OC) PRESCOT and X1950PRO.
Couple days ago i bought i7-920 D0 and planing to build new system.
Question is will this old OCZ PSU work with i7 powered x58 motherboard and GPU like
4870 or 4890 ?

The RS-500 in the Coolermaster's name should give you a hint...it is only a 500W unit. (as badged by Seventeam who makes it)

The OCZ is certainly the better choice of those two and it would work with an i7 and a HD4890

The Coolermaster...I personally wouldn't use it...it would likely work but you would be pushing the limits.
