Hey quick question. (I've read done some research and used some Watt calculators and I'm still unsure).
I'm wondering if 850W is enough to run a future SLI setup and also allow me to overclock (a bit). My current system specs are...
Corsair HX850W
ASUS Sabertooth P67
MSI GTX570
i5-2500k
Crusial M4 128gb SSD
2TB WD 7200RPM 64MB
Corsair 8gb Vengence RAM 1600
ASUS PCE-N15 wifi card.
H80 CPU cooler
DVDRW optical drive
and 5 or so Case fans
I'd like to throw in another GTX570 at some point down the line. The Nivida website says a GTX 570 max power is 219W GeForce GTX 570 - Specifications - GeForce
Now people online say I should leave about 300W for the CPU and system itself, while the rest would be used up by the GPU's; is that correct?
I'm just trying to figure out if Id be able to run an SLI setup along with OCing the CPU (maybe the GPU's a bit but I hear that eats up a lot of power). A few opinions should be great, thanks!
