Build is basically FX-6300, HD 7870. Wattage calculators are saying power draw would be 370ish max with all the other parts. Power supply is this Thermaltake TR2 W0070 430W ATX12V I was also wondering what tool do you guys use to calculate the sufficient power on the 12v rails and other stuff?

Will it smooth out gameplay or make the frame rate less laggy?

Was playing Skyrim when this happened, had to force shutdown cause the PC froze. When I turned it on again, it booted normally, I chose to start windows normally. Then I noticed small and thin lines/artifacts on the Starting Windows screen. When it reached the desktop it was a black screen with...

I have a 7870 XT and I'm planning on OCing it. Question is can I OC my 7870 XT on an MSI H61M-P31? I looked at the card details and there was nothing regarding overclocking capabilities. I'm only planning on OCing my graphics card btw.

I recently bought a Powercolor 7870 Myst ed, when I plugged it in for the first time and turned on the power the fan was slow to spin until it turned off for about 1-2 seconds then turned on again. I'm also having a black screen, from the moment I turn the PC on it's all black. I tried mobo only...

Thanks for the replies. I think I'd just go for a better quality PSU. What budget PSUs would you guys recommend? 550w or 600w psus that are reliable. And do you think the 7870 would fit in my case? http://i.imgur.com/jtJ4ZXW.jpg?1 It's measurements are 10.4 inches x 4.4 inches x 1.4 inches

Hi guys, I'm pretty much clueless here. I'm planning on buying the Powercolor HD 7870 Myst edition (http://powercolor.com/us/products_features.asp?id=430#Specification) and was wondering if my Cougar ST 500w (http://www.cougar-world.com/products/power_supplies/cougar_st.html) would be...
