Enough watt?

[SuperStroopwafel]

Hey guys,

 

Would a Corsair CX430 be enough for a Radeon 7790 or 7850? The rest of the rig is:

- An old i7 970 (i think) Codename: Lynfield

- 1 tb HDD

- 6gb Ram

- 2 fans

- Basic Mobo

 

Btw, How much watt is left with this rig (without the GPU, so we can search on the amount of max watt)

 

Thanks!

It's enough.

I'd say go for the 500B becasue it is usually cheaper and has some extra wattage.

[SuperStroopwafel]

It's enough.

for a 7850?

For a 7850, I'd go 500.

The thing is that we allready have a CX430.

[CoolBeans]

It might be, but very close

[Panda of the Shadow]

for a 7850?

yes. 

[Tmh85]

might want to up it to a 500W to be safe and add headroom

For a 7850, I'd go 500.

Thing thing is that we allready have the cx430

430 Watts should be fine. IMO.

Yes, it will be fine.

The i7 has a tdp of 130w and the 7850 around 150w, I think it will be fine.

i did a bit of research the 7850 130w max so yeah it should be fine :3

non reference cards sometimes have a higher tdp than reference cards http://www.alternate.be/SAPPHIRE/SAPPHIRE+HD_7850_OC_(11200-06-20G)/html/product/1013108/?tk=7&lk=6038 but yeah it doesn't really matter, it is only 20w

ALTERNATE ROCKS! Haha, I was think about the MSI one: http://www.alternate.be/MSI/MSI+R7850-2GD5-OC/html/product/1055875/ because it has 2gb VRAM

yeah you should get a 2gb card! alternate is ok, but there are cheaper shops in the netherlands and pricing in germany is much better, I only buy there because I can go to their store by bike haha
