It's Friday!!!
Got a question for you this morning. I'm putting together a system that I'm planning to purchase in the next few months. Haven't gotten 'serious' yet as I'm waiting to see if anything new hits the market or if there will be some new software updates that would affect my hardware purchases.
I'm not 100% certain how much power I will need. I was thinking 600w minimum, maybe 800w if needed. I want it to be an all-purpose system: I do 'serious' photo/video editing, some light gaming (RTS, not RPG), and watch DVDs with my surround sound.
Here's the specs:
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
EVGA 01G-P4-3650-KR GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory
Standard DVD-RW drive
I can't find the power reqs for the mobo, but the CPU and GFX total 525w. Is a 600w too small for the rest? I plan to have several fans, but don't know what I will get yet (size wise) and so I don't know how much power I'll need to set aside for them.
***Actually planned to get a BIOSTAR TA970 mobo but Newegg is sold out. So I'm not commited on Mobo yet....***
