Just a quick question that I think I know the answer to.
I had some spare parts in my closet that I gave to a friend to help upgrade his machine so he could actually play some games.
He had some standard HP tower with a Athlon II X4 CPU, a 1TB 7200RPM SATA drive, a SATA DVD burner, built in wireless, and 4GB of DDR3 memory.
I gave him my old 5750 and a Corsair 430 watt power supply to use. I know the 5750 calls for a 450 watt, but I'm thinking 430 is still plenty since he doesn't really have anything else running in his machine.
Should I be concerned? I'm thinking he has a lot of headroom still with that 430 watt power supply.
