Introduction
I am in the process of putting together a new AM2 system and I was curious
how much power was recommended for all of my components to operate safely.
These will include a HIS X1900GT that I reviewed earlier and a new Epox
MF570 SLI motherboard I picked up from Newegg. It will also have a
pair of 500 GB Hitachi SATA 150 drives in it. To get a rough number on
how many watts this system would demand I went over to
Extreme OuterVision, where they
happen to have one of the best and most up to date power supply calculators
around. In the end it said I would need a supply that would be capable
of putting out 294 watts. Now when the I have the money for the second
X1900 the second PCI-e card will raise the power supply requirement to 390
watts.
I think after reading that you can understand how important it is to get a
power supply that will provide you with enough wattage to handle everything
you have or plan to add to your system, It does no good to buy a power
supply that is at its limits the minute you install it. It would be
much preferred to have a device that held something in reserve for those
special times when you might call upon it to delivery it.
