R9 270x + 8800 GT.

[Banksy2306]

Hi I just put my old 8800 GT in with my new 270x so I could plug my VGA TV into my PC and it's all running well.

My question is will my CX600 be enough to power them both? I won't ever be using the 8800 GT for gaming just the 270x so I was thinking it shouldn't overloadn in theory.

Has anyone else tried anything similar? The only reason I did this was because I have the 8800 GT on hand and thought it would be cool.

Any advice is much appreciated.

What does the rest of your build look like?

It should be fine. At idle the 8800 gt isn't going to be drawing much power.
