620W Corsair Modular PSU

[bcorbin]

I was going to cheap out and just upgrade, but I couldn't resist going going for a new rig with the following:

Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P AM3
Phenom II x3 720BE 65W
8GB 1333MHz DDR3
2 x Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB 32MB SATA3 7200RPM HDD in RAID 1
Antec 1200 Case (Air Cooled...5-6 fans)
Logitech MX5500 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
Sapphire Toxic 4870 1GB DDR5 (factory oc'ed)

I want to use the modular 620W Corsair PSU
but I have the feeling it might just be a smidge too small.
Any thoughts?

That's more than enough for that rig, and in no way is it too small.

You're looking at less than 300W load. So yeah, you can rest easy.

im using that kind of psu, all i can say it's good. i even read an article that says it can pull off 700+ watts of power.

NO WAY!!!!


Its far to small to power that system. You should sell that worthless thing to me for say, 20 bucks? Then get you a new bigger one



J/K. It will work fine. I am running that same PSU with a

DFI 790FX board
PhenomII 940 BE overclocked to 3.5
4 Gigs 1066
150 gig RaptorX
2 WD 640's running raid 1
Silverstone TJ06 w/4 fans
Sidwinder gaming mouse
Asus 4870 DK 1 Gig
2 Burners, 1 DVD sata and a CDrw/IDE

Runs it all just fine, and very quietly as well.
