January 10, 201016 yr Hello to all you computer techies, I am planning to build a gaming computer in the near future, and I would like to build one from complete parts because frankly, thats what i always wanted to do :P Anyway, I recently have acquired a 600W aluminum casing power supply, and would like to know what kind of computing capacity it is capable of. FYI, I am currently looking into building one with SLI cards (2 being minimum, 4 being max i'd imagine). Also any advice about the company for the SLI graphics cards and the CPU would be appreciated, i am currently looking at an Intel Quad Core chip, Q9650 or similar.

January 10, 201016 yr It's not much use, especially if you want SLI. You'll need a quality power supply approx 1000 watts with at least 50 amps on the 12v rails. May I ask why you want SLI? The new ATI cards are plenty powerful on their own.
January 10, 201016 yr Author i am considering SLI because i wanted to have a computer capable of playing games at max resolution, max details (with some degree of Anti-aliasing), and I dont think none-SLI would have been good enough. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

January 10, 201016 yr Could you give some better info about the psu? Brand, model, amps on 12v, age. Or if you could link to it's product page. I could make a list of parts if you say country+budget. Or if you got a website that you shop from you could link to it. J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

I have a 9800GT in my desktop playing all the games I play at max settings, one of the latest games I got myself was Borderlands, but I guess it's not really a demanding one.

Get an i7 920 and an ATI 5970. You can play Crysis at 2560 x 1600 with all maxxed settings without a problem. Want a cheap route? Get a GTX295 and a physx card. In any case, to play games at 2560 x 1600 with max settings including AA, that power supply is useless to you.
