GPU Help

[Talyor]

Alright well i asked cyberpowerpc to upgrade my psu and amd radeon 6670 to a 600-700 watts and an amd radeon 6850 but they said no and i even said i would pay them and they still said no so i was like ok. So now when my computer gets back ill have a 500 watt psu and an amd radeon 6670. So in march or febuary the AMD Radeon 7850 will come out and i just want to know should i wait for it the 7000 series to come out but i have a 200 dollar budget for the psu and gpu. I also wanna know what watts would be good for a 7850

No one will know what the actual power requirements are until the card is actually released and tested.

And also slaymate i have another question i just won a day 13 giveaway from cyberpowerpc but i dont really want either do you think i can return the item and buy an asus gpu if its the soundbar or a kingston ssd if its the kingston thing from it.

Do you think this psu will run the amd radeon 6850 it says minium 500w powersupply

you really should throw away that turbolink power supply unit. (make sure you properly dispose of it according to local and federal regulations.)

play psu chuckin' or use it as boat anchor. basically anything other than in use it in your computer.

All wires are 20 AWG, i.e., thinner than the minimum recommended.

This is another evidence that we are dealing with a very low-end power supply. Four 2A05 diodes are used, each one supporting up to 2 A at 55º C. Therefore, this unit would be able to pull up to 230 W from a 115 V power grid; assuming 80% efficiency, the diodes would allow this unit to deliver up to 184 W without burning themselves.

it's a review of the 450 wattage model, but I'd expect the same crap in your model.

O **** me..

Newegg.com - Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Do you think i could upgrade to that and use the powercord provided with the turbolink psu and use it on that.

But maybe i should look for something a little higher if im gonna get a 7000 series one

@ Taylor, please don't double post, if you have something else to add to the conversation and no one has posted a reply since your last post (within a 24 hr. period), please use the edit button (looks like a pencil) to add it to your previous post.

The Antec 620 watt will probably be good enough, but it's strictly a guess.

@You never answered my question either slaymate >.> Do you think i can return the soundbar to them and get a asus gpu?

 

[Slaymate]

I have no idea what a soundbar is? As for returning it, or anything, if it was part of a package deal then probably not. But you never know, it can't hurt to try, just ask them.

 

[Talyor]

This is a nightmare now im gonna have to upgrade the psu and lose all the profesional wiring done by cyberpowerpc great..

Then do wire management youreself. Better yourself so you can do it in future systems on your own.
