Hi guys, is 750w (cx750m) enough for this?

 

- CROSSFIRE Sapphire 7950 Vapor X OC

- i5 4670k

- H100i

- 16gb Kingston hyperX Ram

- MSI z87-g45 Gaming motherboard

- 250g SSD

- 1tb Hard drive

 

Let me know :)

 

750W is enough, but your power supply doesn't have the necessary PCIE connectors for crossfire.

Well even a 500w can run it if it has good amperage my 550w has the same amperage as a 700w so anything of quality but a bad quality 750w will run it just dont expect it to live very long.

Yea a 500W will be enough to power your build so a 750w would be more than enough: (thought it was one card) http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_radeon_hd_7950_twin_frozer_iii_review,8.html

 

Yes the psu that you chose will be able to power this build but I would go with a better power supply imo: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151107

Did you read the review?

 

Radeon HD 7950 Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum

 

500watt will not cut the mustard. Add heavy overclocking with 20% power limit and a 7950 can draw as much as 250 watts each. When you start upping the volts and clocks on a HD 7950, they really suck down some power.
