Hello
I'm putting together a specification for a gaming pc, and I'm stuck on the power requirements. Here's my current spec:
cpu: Core i7
motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M-D2H
graphics: AMD Radeonâ„¢ HD 6850 Graphics*
sound: cheap, Sound Blaster Audigy SE
ram: 8gb +, DDR3
internet: wireless card, cheap/mid
Power unit:
Cooling: Case inbuilt
Case: Antec Two Hundred RET Midi Case
HD: Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB Advanced Format 3.5 SATA Internal
Hard Drive: HP - CD-RW / DVD-ROM combo drive - internal - 8x - 5.25" Slim Line - IDE - carbon
I've used a power calculator to find some sort of figure to work with and it comes back with about 550 watts, which seems steep. What power units should I be looking at for this configuration?
Since I've put it up, can anyone see potential problems with this setup? Anything I've missed?
