You dont need 650-1000 until you start running 4+ cards on your system.

I would get at least a 650watts PSU for safety and efficiency.

I have a 5770 running with a 365watt power supply, and the cards voltage is risen. :P Title: Re: new cheap psu Post by: Electricbees on June 19, 2012, 01:55:26 AM this 5970 will pull alone 400watts I run 5970's, and they pull much less than that when memory is downclocked.I would get at least a 650watts PSU for safety and efficiency. More like, 250-300 watts a piece for me, but their cores are overclocked as well. You should be safe with the XFX.
