350W enough power?

[jakebrick]

I am currently building a new rig, and I am getting a temporary case an PS to last me until December when I will have more money. I am wondering is 350 is enough to power an e6750, and a 7900gs, and the rest of my parts? thanks in advance.

How many amps does the psu have?

Cut some more lawns dude, waiting til' x-mas isn;t going to cut it with a 350w I'll bet. It could possibly be enough, but it wouldn't be stable. Borrow a few extra bucks and get a 500w. Plus, PSUs that come with cases almost always suck.

Actually, I probably won't have time to cut lawns during my second year UNIVERSITY. thanks though.

I am not sure on the amps, but I didn't think with the 7900's it mattered much.

It's always about amps, hehe.

Chances are that psu wont cut it. Seriously, skip the pub a couple times and eat in the dining hall more and you can easily afford a decent psu.

A 350w? It might, but if it did, you're cutting it pretty close. I'd suggest something like the FSP (Fortron Source) AX400-PN 400W.

It use to power my e6400 and x1950pro together. Both overclocked.

I went with the earthwatts 430. I got a really good deal on it, and I figure if it doesn't work I can sell it to my bro and grab somethin' else.

For the curious, I got:

2x1 GB OCZ platinum XTC revision
BFG 7900gs OC
Some LG writer
Cooler Master RC-534 case
Antec EA-430 power
ASUS P5K-VM
Intel e6750 (was there any other option?)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB (already have an 80, and a 120)

Thanks for all the help too!

Ya, I don't think a 350w will run a 7900gs.

Fantastic! Another member that has the same PSU as me. :happy: It's a great PSU, I have to tell you that.
