7950 power supply?

[stanistheman]

im thinking is a xfx 650w proseries enough? for a 7950
8gb ram
core i5 3450
might overclock

Yep. That's plenty.

i can also get a Thermaltake Toughpower XT 775W for $10 more thoughts?

 

[abekl]

stick with the xfx, it's a better PSU

 

[stanistheman]

Awesome cheers guys. i was gonna get the xfx pro 750 or corsair 750 but there like $35 more and i think they will be a overkill anyway for a single gpu

your powr supply will run 7950 CF.here's guru3d's power consumption test for 7950-

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

Radeon HD 7950 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500~550 Watt power supply unit.
Radeon HD 7950 Crossfire x2 - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
Radeon HD 7950 Crossfire x3 - On your average system the cards require you to have a 850~900 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

Note:they use a very power hungry test setup-

your system is much more power efficient.your psu(xfx 650) provides 53 amps which is sufficient to run your system with 2x 7950.
