How much power?

Go to solution Solved by whatthe_fuzz,

850W

 

You'll be stressing your computer for a while.

To run 2 7870s or 2 7950s for litecoin mining? I am thinking of getting a FX 6350 cuz there will be gaming done on it.

750W or 850W

So would this be fine? I know it is not that high quality but I need it to be as cheap as possible.

I wouldn't. 

 

You should spend more on a high quality PSU. Get a seasonic 800W+

Alright,More than I wanted to spend but I guess it is worth it being the compute will be on for long periods of time under near full load.

The cross fire is not for sure yet. I might just do one 7870 or 7950 at first then add a second later.
