Hello,
I am building a gaming rig that will also be able to mine some alt coins (CAP, BBQ, etc) and I just received my MSI 7950 Twin Frozr. I plan on getting a second one. WHen I plugged all of my specs and hardware intothe Newegg PSU calculator, it said I needed 829W. Then they have a "search PSU" button. Clicked it, found a Rosewill 850W, and ordered it.
But then later I saw a lot of people saying that for 2 X 7950's you need a minimum of 1000w PSU
I was planning on undervolting them too. So I am just wondering if 850w is going to be a sufficient PSU...especially since I will need to be playing some high-end games as well
Other specs:
AMD FX 8350 DVD-RW RAM: DDR3 4 X 8gb (32gb)
Note: With just one card on New Egg's calculator it said it would be using 529W. I didnt think of it until later that an increase of 300w for an additional 7950 might not be correct
