Will My Power Supply Be Enough????

[ssmith232]

I am currently using a corsair 750W power supply. Will this be enough two support two 5870's if I am about to overclock the CPU, so I will also be putting on an additional aftermarket air cooler? You guys/girls let me know what you think.

I am concerned that I should have purchase a 850W.

Thank you all in advance,

dualsmp--> Its my understanding that those wattages are just the graphics cards correct? And, if so wouldnt I need an 850W to support the rest of my setup? Please feel free to correct me, because I am definitely not well educated on the electrical side.

Thank you though,

The whole system.

The whole system...but with only the graphics cards being stressed very much....the entire system could use more power than that especially when gaming.
