Hey All:

I am planning on upgrading my cpu and mobo and, although I have read a number of article and used a few online calculators, I want to make sure that my current PS will be able to power my new build. My current PS is a PC P&C S75QB 750W; +12V @ 60A. My new rig will include some of the following components:

Intel Core i5 760
ASUS Maximus III
8 GB DDR3-1600
Radeon HD 5870
2 HDD
1 SDD

I am not a huge OC'er and will stick to relatively light increases. As I understand that some PSs lose efficiency over time, my PS is almost 2 years old.

Thanks in advance for any help or insight you might be able to provide.

Regards

There is practically no single graphics card configuration you could have that would tax this PSU, unless you had an absurd # of hard drives or enough high-speed case fans to levitate your chassis.

:hmm:
That reminded me of that Mythbusters episode where they made a car levitate with firehoses.
