PSU powerful enough?

[herbert42]

alright, first of all, here's my specs right now

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371015

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157191

HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152181

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231351

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103871&cm_re=amd_640-_-19-103-871-_-Product

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500173

i was planning on upgrading soon and the only thing im really too concerned about is the PSU. i was going to get this CPU and GPU

so would everything be alright with this PSU, or do i need to upgrade that too?

and if this PSU is ok, i was also going to overclock the GPU. i've been hearing that a 6950 is easily overclocked to the equivalent of a 6970. but the overclock is kinda optional i guess.

 

[StrangleHold]

Yeah, that Antec should be fine with a 6950.

 

[Fooozball]

Agreed. Your PSU is fine for the 6950.

 

[herbert42]

Alright thanks. Do I still have some room for overclocking, or do I have just barely enough?

 

[Turbo10]

AMD's are not the best overclockers but i don't see why not should be fine for overclocking

 

[herbert42]

AMD's are not the best overclockers but i don't see why not should be fine for overclocking

ok. thank you. im assuming the CPU should be fine too with the PSU, correct?

 

[bomberboysk]

CPU/GPU will be fine with that PSU.

 

[herbert42]

alright thanks again. i guess thats all i really needed to know

 

[StrangleHold]

What are you talking about? And what was the point in that statement?

 

[herbert42]

instead of starting a new thread i figured i would just ask it here... instead of the Phenom II X6 and the HD 6950, would THIS work instead?

Yes. You could get the 955, both clock about the same.

so the gtx 480 would work too? sorry if these are stupid questions btw, im not too familiar with power supplies

EDIT: the other link was supposed to be a gtx 480. my bad.... this is what it was supposed to be: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500166

Thought the link was to a 6950. The GTX 480 is alittle more power hungry. But it should still be fine. A 6950 is a quality 500W and up, the GTX 480 is a quality 600W and above.

ya, the link was to a 6950... sorry. i was typing it fast and i had that one bookmarked on firefox and i thought it was the gtx 480 so i just copy and pasted it without paying attention.
