Would Eenermax PRO82+ 425W be enough for me?

[alexv]

Greetings,

I am considering the Enermax PRO82+ EPR425AWT for the following setup with quad core, 8GB ram and quadro FX570:

ASUS P5Q Deluxe
Q9450
2 x G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 1066
Seagate Barracuda 750GB SATA
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 CPU cooler
PNY VCQFX570-PCIE-PB Quadro FX570
Hauppauge 150 tv tuner
some regular DVD burner

The main puprpose will be number crunching with occasional 3D graphics - no games, no SLI etc. My only concern is that the specs on the PNY video card say it needs 450W power supply. I really like reviews on the PRO82+ series but the next step up would be 525W wich would be an overkill(?). Now I do not have much experience with respect to choosing PSU, my only two requirements are to be as quiet and as energy efficient as possible. So I am open to suggestions.

The only upgrade I envision would be adding another hard drive some time in the future.

Thanks in advance!

The 450W would probably relate to a worse case scenario $5 450W PSU that would probably explode at high use.

I would say a good quality 425W like yours should manage. Give it a try. You'll soon find out.

FX570, is the same gpu as the 8600... pretty low power. 425W from a quality power supply like the Enermax should be fine.

You'll be absolutely fine my friend. Think you won't even reach 80% load with everything running at full.

Yep, that's fine.
