GTX 580

[Anthrax27]

Hi,

I wanted to ask if a Corsair TX650 can handle ,

Intel Core i7 2600K @ Stock ( 3.8ghz turbo )

Asus Maximus IV Gene Z

8 GB Cl9 GSkill Ripjaws 1600 Mhz

1 x 500GB and 1x 2TB WD Caviar green

Nvidia GTX 580

8 fans ( Cabinet and Cpu cooler )

1x DVD RW

Plus the usuals ie. Keyboard, Mouse , headphones

PS: I am replacing my 5850 with a GTX 580.

Please answer my query

Thanks.

I'm using a 750W PSU and I'm running an OC'd 580 and an OC'd 2600K so I think you should be OK with a 650W PSU

The Maximus is useless if you don't OC the 2600k... wich is also a waste.

I would get the AX750 tho.

I agree with the above

. You should be fine with the 650W at stock, but with the expensive hardware you have you should really get a better PSU as well and OC the hell out of your system.

Or perhaps go with an AX850W, you want to leave room for overclocking (if you want to do it), but the less your PSU is being stressed the better, especially in the long run. The Corsair AX ranges are probably the best though, over the TX. Just depends on your budget.
