Computer build thread for the hardware geeks

Havnt read the last 2 pages, but try looking at the Corsair HX520 or 620 range of PSU's. Much better than the one you first picked and will easily do SLI.

Also you dont need a really huge PSU 90% of the time. Even if you get a 700W PSU, the most your computer will probably draw will be about 400 watts unless you add in lots of drives and lights and fans etc.

if you read, you would see im upgrading the 450w psu when i go sli.

my mobo is rated at 400w min.

but

Is anyone able to test if my 45nm cpu works?

Your MB might be rated at that, but I can guareentee you that you dont need some uber high wattage psu to run all that with SLI.
