ok, I have my new system sorted and my mum is ready to order it for my christmas present. The only problem is that it will suck ALOT of juice and the biggest power supply I can get is 550 watt. I am running an
1 amd fx55 processor
2 nvidia xfx 6800 pci-e sli graphics cards
1 1gb ( 2x512mb) corsair ddr xms3200xl pro twin x cas 2 RAM
1 asus a8n-sli deluxe nforce 4 motherboard
2 maxtor diamondmax10 hard drives
2 asus dvd drives
6 120mm fans
3 80 mm fans
1 92 mm fan
loads of other 'junk' like cold cathodes and other not so power consuming items
So my question is will 1 550 watt Antec true blue power supply provide enough power for these components?
The case I selected (cm stacker) will support two power supplies but I don't know
a) if the motherboard supports 2 power supplies and b) how to connect 2 power supplies together to come on at the same time
Questions
1) will a 550 watt antec true blue power supply power my system?
2) if not what wattage will I need to power the system?
3) will my motherboard support 2 power supplies?
4) how do I connect 2 power supplies together to come on at the same time?
5) Is there a power supply that will give enough power to my system available?
Many Thanks
Carl
