Hey guys
I gonna upgrade my rig at some point from core i7 920 (1366) and im gonna go for 4770K
Obviously that means new Mobo, RAM a new cooler (tempted by the H105) and obvs a new CPU. It's still gonna sit in the same case with the same GPUs (which is currently gtx 570 and a gtx 275) same soundcard, hard drives etc. so im basically just changing the "engine room" of my PC
do i need to change my PSU? I have seen it mentioned that I'll need a "Haswell Cert PSU" so it can safely supply the stupidly little wattage requirements when its sitting at Idle as older psu might not be able to do
The psu i have is a Corsair HX750w. Now we all know Corsair make rock solid PSUs but this is 4/5yrs old so it is an "old" psu and back then it was about how much it could deliver rather than how little.
Will i be ok or should i look at a new PSU and if so, any recommendations?
Cheerz in advance for any advice
