Power Supply Help! (1 Viewer)

[Jikky]

Hey guyssss,

I've recently bought a Powercolor HD6850, in preparation for BF3! I currently have a crappy-ass stock HD5570 with a 300 watt power supply. I just want to know how much power I would need, at least an estimate.

Here are my future specifications with the HD6850:

Intel Core i7-870 @ 2.93Ghz (Not OC'ed)
Powercolor HD6850
1TB Western Digital SATA
8GB (2x4) DDR3 RAM
MSI-2A9C Motherboard
SuperMulti Blu-ray Disc burner with LightScribe Technology drive

What PSU should I get?

Thanks bros!

Recommended @ 315w
Get atleast 550 for future proofing

Yeah I was looking at getting a 500W but it turns out I cant spend any more then 60 on a PSU. So maybe later, when I get a job i'll future-proof..
I can though, get a 460W Gigabyte Superb PSU. That would be good right? And maybe give me some headspace for a small overclock to like 3.3Ghz+?

You dont need to OC.
Besides, you dont have cooling for a OC.
