How much Power i need... Mean which PSU i need that can handle both specs? 600W is enough?? plz guys guide me thanks

 

[abobobilly]

budget bro budget? Mention the budget for PSU alone first.

 

[nUM47]

yar budget choro... telll me the PSU..dont take tension of budget

 

[Faisal]

if u are talking about cm 600w then maybe it can run ur system but a better psu is recommended and for ur config go with either gtx 275 or 4890 but if u want to use two gpus then xfire 4890!

Although your system will run on Corsair 620 watt, i would say get Corsair 750 watt for safe side,
it will be sufficient if you go for extreme overclocking as well as it will handle a wide range of Fans/LED Fans, etc..

another thing, you mentioned 2 x2 GB Ram in your 2nd RIG, which is not suitable for Corei7 setup, it might work but it better to get 3 x 1 or 3 x 2 Ram for Corei7 due to its support of Triple channel memory

 

[ModMonsta]

I think a 600 watt would be good but you should consider future proofing. In any case, Google psu calculator to give you a rough estimate

yar budget choro... telll me the PSU..dont take tension of budget

i7 and rampage II gene.... means you are gonna OC it also

Best = Corsair TX650Watt [Rs.9000 at Galaxy]
Best Price/Performance = Silverstone 650Watt [Rs.7700 at AstronTech]

You said there is no problem of budget right?
Then go for Voodoo's suggestion.
If there is a budget problem .... then go with mine :lol: (atleast it you can save A FEW bucks with it) ..
No comments on CM600watt, because i dont trust that PSU and never read any reviews about it either (If you are trying to refer to a cheap 600watt PSU)

 

[nUM47]

ok...thanks...

and last thing.. which brand?

 

[Faisal]

Bro check my specs a cm 600w cant even handle these things while overclocked and u are expecting to run a gtx 275 on it!
go with abobilly suggestion!

Corsair is better if i want to pay a few bucks!

 

[nUM47]

ok the answer is. 650W is enough for your PC. rite?

 

[abobobilly]

ok the answer is. 650W is enough for your PC. rite?

Yes its enough, also if you want to Overclock.
But as i said, Voodoo told you right. Be on the safe side IF there is no budget problem. But if think that paying extra for 750watt is not right, then ofcourse the 650watt is still more than enough for your needs.

You are getting a Rampage II Gene with a freaking Core i7 and you are saying that you DONT WANT TO OVERCLOCK
lol
Time will tell bro opcorn:
good luck with your purchase :wink2:

 

[Faisal]

In clear words u are pissing on core i7 legacy if u are not overclocking it specialy with an Asus mobo if u were choosing intel one then case would have been diffrent!

BTW why are u not getting core i5!

 

[Shahid]

Having core i7 on asus Rampage II Gene and not overclocking it .............

@num47

PLEASE dont spend on such an expensive motherboard if you are not going to overclock.

I suggest you get a cheaper motherboard, a Gigabyte P45 based motherboard instead ... with a Corsair 750w PSU ... and get a GTX285 instead. Same karcha ... lots more performance!
