[QUOTE="razblack, post: 598071, member: 103248"] i would think that you should check the power requirements for the cards you spec'd... add up the amps and stuff required and see what you get? i'm a noob at math unfortunately. [url]http://www.pcisig.com/specifications/conventional/[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_Component_Interconnect[/url] so, let's say worse case scenario each card uses 5V at 25W @13 = 65V / 325W minimum might be like 3.3V at 7.5W = 43V / 98W ... i'm guessing based on wikipedia for PCI specs.. not on what the manufactures states. ... errr ( i keep editing) Amps = Watts divided by Volts. so 325/65 = 5amps or 98/43 = 2.3amps ??? quick.. someone double check my noobness. then check power reqs for your CPU and other items. if you got the power, i would think any latest CPU i5/i7 quad core would be sick slick.
