I'll have a basic system and I'mdebating waiting on upgrading mycurrent 530watt PSU.The current system buildis pretty set in stone:

q6600
DFI mobo
2x2gb DDR*00
DVDRW
500gb SATA 32mb
6800 XT - current non upgrade
530 watt Raidmax Tornado. - current PSU

I found an OCZ 700 watt for ~$75 and seems very efficient for the price. Killer deal.

corsair hx520/vx550, either would be sufficient depending on whether you want modular or not.
 
If those components are all you have in your system, you should be fine. You'll be pulling just under 400W total. Just check to make sure you're not over on any of your individual rails, and you should be fine.

Except for the fact the Raidmax PSU is a complete pile of garbage. ;)
 
Okay, fine.

Still do you expect a PSU that's rated more than 25% more than MAXIMUM draw on a system to REALLY be stressed out enough that crap parts will fail under load?

If he wants an excuse to get an new PSU, fine. No biggie.
 
Lol these manufacturers overrate their PSU 25% all the time.

Or perhaps the ripple that it makes. :rolleyes:

Ummm, no, the good ones do not.
