I need to upgrade my power supply because I am upgrading my cpu, video and sound cards. I am stepping up from this setup: AMD Phenomtm X4 9150e 64-bit Quad-Core Processor (1.80GHz, 2MB L2 Cache) with AMD64 Technology8
4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
Systemboard with AMD® 780G Chipset
Radeon X1650 Series

I am keeping the same Mobo, but adding a Phenom II x4 940 processor, NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 1GB, Auzentech-X-Plosion Cinema 7.1-Channel PCI Sound Card.

What kind of power supply should I get?
 
Whats wrong with that one? Seems like he has some very nice hardware, etc so why not get a nice power supply?

Now if I would have said a 500 watt ps, someone would have said thats to low.

I'm assuming he is a power user, possibly a gamer?

It's like buying a corvette with a 4 banger in it, just doesnt belong.
 
Well probably not but he could, what about future builds? This card requires at least a 350-400 watt PS, so maybe 500 watts in the minimum for this system?

I was just tossing that out there, didnt expect him to buy it. :cool:
 
A 9500GT barely uses any power whatsoever, and if you are buying a 9500GT for a gaming setup then prepare to be severely disappointed. The card is absolute trash for games. In fact yuor X1650 may even be better lol
