Hey guys thinking of getting another MSI 6950 for X-Fire, I need a PSU upgrade, and will not be using my crap mobo in my sig, I'm getting a new case, psu I will list it on the bottom, and a new 1156 mobo with 8X,8X PCIE lanes, and soon after will be going for a 16x16x system, just don't know which yet. Might even just do that before I go Xfire.

My Main question is will this PSU, it's a combo deal is the reason i'm thinking of doing it in the first place handle a slightly OC i5\i7 along with everything else in the sig, plus one more 6950? Or am i pushing it.

I have seen some pretty good price on some corsair's int he 48hr sale, of If i really need to get one of those I would like to pick it up ASAP.

Thanks, I have to be cheap on the spu but if it work then why not save the money for some other performance upgrades.

Thanks
 
Just saw a nre Corsair Deal this deal is for a 600w, I currently own a 600w but its a low end rosewill, that had done me good but don't know about his quality.

Better then the 700w Rosewill?
 
Where Rosewill is concerned, it the the UL number that matters not the band name as Rosewill is a rebrander. My Rosewill is actually a Seasonic PSU. There are a few bad Rosewills out there.
 
xfire 6950 flashes to 6970 and i5 i would want a good 750w really meaning spending 120-140.

I mean you just dropped min $520 for the gpus whats 120-140 to powe then and your system right?

if that rosewill 700w it to go in the system with the other psu then yes that will do fine :)

Sorry did not really get what you meant, are you saying that 700w rosewill will do fine, and yea when i put the 6950>6970 I was talking about flashing and overclocking it, i have one already to go, hitting 950/1300 without breaking a sweat. But want anther one. Anyway are you saying that 700 rosewill will do?
 
im saying running both at once reg system the new 700w gpus will do fine hard to say if just the 700w will do ok or crap out after a week
