PSU for crossfire

[vikashkb]

My pc Config is
Asus motherboard P6X58D-E
Intel core i7 950
6 GB corsair DDR3
3 HDD
1 optical drive
XFX AMD HD 6870 GPU
And a local 500w PSU

Now I want to add one more GPU to the system using crossfire. Please suggest me a decent power supply. I use my pc mainly for gaming purpose. my budget is within 8000

Local PSU. Which brand..?

Buy Corsair TX850V2 @7.8K

It would be enough for 2x 6870.

6870 doesn't require 850W PSU. if OP doesn't overclock the processor or GPU, 600W is sufficient. he can go for TX650W.

thanx everybody im not overcloaking anything so please let me know should i go for 650 or 850

Go with Seasonic 620W or if you want a bit more headroom then TX750W

My recommendation goes with TX650.. Nice little Powerhouse..

 

[vikashkb]

Thanx all...i guess i will go for tx 750

^You won't need that much. About 600W should do the job.

Thanx all...i guess i will go for tx 750

noh.. Do not.. It is really much much more than you will ever need.. Don' go for that.

I did both my 4890s with an OC'ed Q9550 on an TX650.
