Hi guys, I was just wondering if a Corsair HX850 Watt PSU would be sufficient to support an i7 2600k @4.5ghz as well as a 5870 with an additional 5970?
Specs:
Intel i7 2600k @ 4.5ghz
ASUS P8Z68V-Pro
Corsair HX850
XFX HD5870 1GB
Corsair XMS3 16GB ram 9-9-9-24
Corsair 650D Tower
Dell U2711 (2560x1440)
I'm thinking of adding a 5970.. or would I be able to add 2 5870's? I'm thinking heat would be a problem and an 850 wouldn't be able to handle 3 5870's.. but would it be able to handle 5970 + 5870?
It'll probably cost me $400 for a "used" 5970.. or ~180 for "used" 5870's here in Canada.. I don't know what to do.. should I upgrade my PSU if i'm thinking of doing this setup?
