    Is Corsair HX 520W power supply sufficient

    My current config starting to show these limits (x2 3800 @ 2.5Ghz + 2 GB of RAM + 8800GT 1GB) I wanted to renew, not necessarily change everything.

    I currently have a power supply of Corsair HX 520W and I wanted to know if it would be sufficient for a configuration based i7 knowing that I want to overclock, and I will change the graphics card for a high quality end of years?

    Here are the details of this future config:

    i7 920
    noctua se1366
    6GB OCZ Platinum 12800
    P6T Deluxe
    Blue Caviar 640GB
    8800GT 1GB
    Corsair HX 520W

    I count up, if possible, the 920 between 3.6 and 3.8 GHz ...

    yes a 500 HE i7 @ 3.8 + 4850 GSE graphic card. It's with graphic card 4870/4850 it had problem

    But the 620 would be more sustainable because of the kind GTX *** + your 8800 for PhysX

    is sufficient

    339w for use with a graphics card 4870 x2

    So with your corsair 520w power supply and graphics card 8800 gts will be good

    Personal experience: it gives me 100% usage on my program management of the UPS with my config 1, burn-in on the 4 + 4 cores graphic card (probably not 100% graphic card): 450W

    I have a 650W power supply, it seems more "at ease" than a 520w I think.
