XFX HD5850 and XFX 650w PS for $199 AR/shipping at Newegg

[Termie]

XFX HD5850 + XFX 650w XXX PS = $199. (EDIT: now $201 - shipping price increased $2.)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.553617
Code: EMCZZYR24

This is a smoking hot deal. For those wishing to go crossfire with an existing HD5850, it's all you need. Note, however, that even for the relatively frugal 5850 you're still talking about a ~120w increase at load over a single card, close to GTX480 levels. Hence the need for a 650w PS.

You can also get the HD5850 without the power supply for $181 after rebate/shipping, but for just $18 more, you get the power supply. It's a seasonic-built unit and gets generally very good reviews.

Awesome XFX warranty, too. This is indeed hot.

I posted this in the Hardforums last night. I do not even need either but I bit. I have increased my gaming time on my HTPC so I been wavering on getting a new card anyway. Figure I can sell the PSU, trade out my 5770 and sell it, use my remaining $20 NewEgg gift cert and come out pretty close to breaking even after I get my rebates.

Deal insanity. :awe:

Where was this deal when I built my computer last November?
I spent $150 on a HD4890 and $115 on a Corsair 750HX PSU.

Crap I dont need the PSU.... nice deal though...

 

[alfa147x]

I'll buy someones PSU!

EMCZZYR24 is a one use code which I already used on another deal. Bummer.

 

[stag3]

damn is it worth cf'ng 5850s at this point for $200?
or better to wait for the new cards coming out?

do you need 2 psu's to run cf?
i only see 2 6pin pci-e connectors with that psu

 

[mindwreck]

the psu has 4 6pin pcie plugs. 3 of them are the 6+2 variety. enough for 2 card cf.

How does this compare in single mode against a 460 1gb? I haven't looked at video cards recently, but if the deal is good enough, i might have to bite for it...

About 5-10% faster than a 460 1GB. At the same price, it's the better card.
