I'm running the following.
1-core i7 920
1-Gigabtye X58 Extreme board
3-Gigs triple channel ddr3 @ 1333mhz
2-Ati radeon 4850's in crossfire.
2-Seagate Barracudas 500gig 7200rpm
1-Samsung DVD burner
5-120mm fans with led's
1-200mm fan with led's
I have an antec true power quatro 850watt psu but it wont power everything for some reason I thought that would be enough.
Is there a problem?
What psu should I get if need be replaced?
 
jesus dude, first off i would take out one of those graphics cards, then try turning on the system, if it doesnt turn on its a bad psu if it does then you have to much stuff running so i would sugest going to a 1000 wat psu,
 
oh yeah then you probably need a new psu, even if you take some stuff off, then if you go in a full load your comp will shut down.

take a look at these
there pretty pricey but there the best you can get for the price
109.99 after rebate

159.99 after rebate

those are the best i can find on newegg, but there still very pricey, maybe someone else can find a cheaper unit
 
Thanks guys I was using two sata ports that are set for raid so it will only read one drive I changed by drive to the ports not set for raid.
Theres a lot I need to learn about the x58 board.
