Were you discussing about my response when I asked will the enermax power my system?

Great. Thanks guys :) Will it power a 6850 and a phenom II x4 940 (the rest of the system is pretty modest, one usb keyboard and mouse, usb wifi dongle, 2 5400rpm hdds one 7200rpm, one 120mm cpu fan and one 90mm exhaust fan)

So which one of you to trust? It would be better to get 500w because of one reason at least, 425w<500w obviosly,..

Enough to handle HD6850 and an x4 940? Or go after Antec EA500D? They're the same price

Thanks.

So I found a used Antec EA500D for cheap and even though it's old, that would still be enough, right? I know I shouldn't be modest when buying a PSU but wallet forbids me from going more.

Can it be done? I found a 5770 to play some games that I like (like bf3 and skyrim) on a low resolution. The PSU itself is an Antec earthwatts 380w, here's a label of it from newegg CPU: Phenom II X4 940 RAM: 4GB ddr2 Three hard drives, two of them are laptop 2.5" 5400 rpm, one is 3.5"...

Ok thanks. I will do it when I get an external HDD.

Yes I know how to do it without any data or by erasing data on it. I found this article http://www.partition-tool.com/easeus-partition-manager/convert-dynamic-disk-to-basic-disk.htm so I thought it is possible without losing/deleting data, EaseUS doesn't seem like a scamming software. By the...

Look at "Disk 1" on the screenshot. I need to change it to basic disk, one partition if possible and without moving or losing data. The reason I want to do this is maybe this way I will be able to access it when I switch to linux because it doesn't let me access it. Pops an error. Windows 7...

I went around it. Got Connectify to do the work for me.

Here's the pic of the error http://image.prntscr.com/image/54724221c4e24147a6e062ed6d337659.png I used these to set up the network in cmd (you can see Zen on the picture is the hotspot, tenda is the joined router) netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Name key=8CharacterKey netsh wlan...

Yeah Blackbird has helped me a lot when I had questions and needed help. I will buy that guy a beer one time. Thanks eximo for answering. Yes it is a 380w psu. I'm wondering about this because I found some older cheap AMD gpu's that I find good but not really with an ideal TDP if you know what...

So I have to be sure that I understand how to know if a PSU can power a GPU. Obviously a quality one will be better than a cheap one. Moving on, one 6 pin can supply 75w and a PCIe slot additional 75w. So theoretically every GPU that has only one 6pin (which can then draw up to 150w?) the PSU...
