nacho_nacho_man 477 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 personally i'd go for a higher wattage PSU. 550w doesn't leave much headroom to play with.have you checked out overclockers website?Edit:the specs of your GPU state:Additional SpecificationsWattage500 wattsthat leaves 50w between all other components...

Iakona 2,271 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 personally i'd go for a higher wattage PSU. 550w doesn't leave much headroom to play with.have you checked out overclockers website?Edit:the specs of your GPU state:Additional SpecificationsWattage500 wattsthat leaves 50w between all other components...PSU is fine..The 7950 won't use any near 500watts at full power, around 200w at the most.PSU manufacturers ALWAYS over shoot on the wattage requirements to accommodate poor quality PSU's that don't deliver their proper wattage... The XFX PRO 550W is a high quality PSU that actually delivers what its supposed to... so he has nothing to worry about here.As for all the parts being compatible, you're good to go mate!This is the case that i have.. absolute joy to work with.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-HAF-Plus-Case/dp/B003XEDTLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353370429&sr=8-1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iakona 2,271 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Don't know why the case is so expensive compared to others on amazon :SIt's a great case.The other cases will suffer one or all of the following..- Small in size which can limit the components that you can use.. also makes it harder to clean.- Poor ventilation, which can lead to your parts dying prematurely.- No built in cable management, which naturally makes it harder to keep your system tidy and will effect air flow.- Poor build quality..This is the case that i have.. absolute joy to work with.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-HAF-Plus-Case/dp/B003XEDTLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353370429&sr=8-1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
