post some benchmark results to see new rig power!
Using what tool?
Off the top of my head I know I'm getting over 65 FPS in GTA IV.... an arch enemy of mine >:D -
Lol?
I have read some weird shit in this thread. 620w PSU is more than enough.
Enjoy your newly built PC.
Yayyyyyyy! Thanks!

I just don't care about graphics. I am still playing:
Call Of Duty 1 and 2Agree! Same with me lol

A very cool feature is that you can run the OS off the live CD and get a feel for it without installing anything... Very useful :p
-
And be sure to get something with a single rail to provide equal amps to all your PC parts. Cheaping out on a PSU is a big nono
.
Get one from reputed brands such as Seasonic, XFX (their PSUs are made by Seasonic), Corsair or NZXT.As Grand said, it is always better to keep some headroom for upgrading. Crysis 3 is just around the corner and it is sure to bring PCs to their knees
My PSU is not cheeped out
It's the Antec HCG series based on the modular Seasonic 620w OEM power supply, and it is single rail, it cost $95

Gunny is right.
I wouldnt risk it using only a 620w PSU for that kind of a rig. I myself am using a Corsair GS700 with a Core i7 2600K and a GTX 570. It is good to have some overhead power remaining from the PSU, it will give your parts a longer life expectancy. But otherwise yours is a pretty boss rig
Display MoreNice PC m8....
I'm not gonna upppgrade before i see what Haswell can do this spring.
Yeah...i got the euro version of the Kill-A-Wattwattage monitor and it is saying that my rig are using 270-290W...and i think that the PCU power levels are just marketing...but you need a better pcu if you want to connect more graphic cards tho because it is hard to find anything under 800-1200W that got the extra slots for 8x6-8x8 pin sli/crossfire
Thanks guys!
Ah ok I see what you guys are saying, I know I'm a bit too weak with the PSU but I was on a budget lol. I'll probably upgrade my PSU before I'd upgrade anything else in the coming years
but for now it's enough juice -
Nice setup
.. enjoy playing m8! 
What gunny said. Anyways, the spec is fine to run anything these days.
Nice pc.....I'm jealous
Hope we see ya around
Thanks guys

Looks good so far, but you will fall short in your power using on 620w. Add the power specs up for your machine. The 7870 requires 600w without any higher end components, which you have. So you won't get the power you need to run your machine at proper potential. I would shoot for a 950 or even 1100 black widow. You need the power for the pipes m8 or you're not getting what you paid for.
My estimated wattage is in the 350w range, I've used two different power calculators and everything is running at its tops so far

So my old PC's (Athelon x64, 3GB DDR2 RAM, RadeonHD 4650) PSU died in piece (leaving my components intact!) so I decided to change the PSU and hand it over to my brother as a gift..... or actually just mainly an excuse to spend my money on a computer rather than getting him a gift with money lol. So I decided to put around $910 two weeks ago and I built it successfully (all issues I had got resolved a few days ago, my case top was defective and just got it replaced). So here's the part list of the machine that will eat CF alive!

As I'm waiting for the other player to return
A pirate undocks from planet blood
I get fired at, I return fire - kill enemy.
He undocks.. Fires again I kill him again.
He undocks.. Fires again I kill him again.
He undocks.. Fires again I kill him again.A shady smuggler who was on our KOS comes into the fight with his Battleship....
I avoid fire from both until I kill the BS, then kill the fighter...Pirate undocks... I kill him
BS shows up.. avoid fire.... kill both again..Pirate undocks.. I kill him..
BS shows up again... avoid fire... kill both once more!(this went on until the BS went broke and was sent to planet Manhattan..)
Pirate begs for mercy and I escort him out...
Finish helping with transfer
I DID NOT BEG!
I sneaked out!
As for me, any time I'm on teamspeak with people its fun..... Once a bunch of pirates and mercs were on this one TS server..... man oh man it was the best fun I've ever had!

Good job on recovering! But trust me bro, if you have $50-100 hanging around. I got a WD 1 TB external for my birthday ($100) and It's VERY helpful.
Its a good investment to have
-
Happy BDay Arrow!!!
-
No way, its you're birthday? Happy B-day bro!
-
That looks sexy!

Michael Thanks! I have a PC capable of playing CF, but my bro's comp broke down so I might buy a new one and hand him my old one, also I have an external 1TB portable HDD so I think a total of 2TB is good
@Forlon thanks! Hopefully I can get it by Boxing Day
