Angry_Games Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Powerstream 520w can just anything but possibly a highly overclocked dual-core AND a couple of X1900XT Crossfires....but I've done it myself (with 3 RAID hdd's and a dvd-burner, plus dual pump watercooling and about 10 case fans with a fan controller to boot). So yes, it can defintely handle a single 7600 or 7900 and a dual core. It can definitely handle a couple of 7600's and a dual core and I would imagine that if your 520w Powerstream is like mine, it can definitely handle a couple of 7900GT's in SLI and a dual-core for the vid cards....I would easily go with the 7900GT....you can get another one later when prices drop even more if thats what you feel like. Another 7600 down the road would be cheap too, but not as good as adding another 7900 lol. Gskill is good from what i hear. I've never had any so don't know. I use OCZ PC4000 2x1GB Gold EL, Platinum EB, and Gold GX (XTC) kits and they all perform flawlessly (with a little help from my tweaker-finger!)

beezy17434 Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 is it hard to put a aftermarket cooler on a video card after you had it for a while or is it best to put it on when you first get it ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowboy Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 It doesn't matter when you put it on. After just getting 5 bad gfx cards in a row I would not recommend leadtek for anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Games Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 My favorite Nvidia cards are XFX eVGA BFG Leadtek I wouldn't worry too much about the 7900GT's these days...they were a nasty problem when they first came but they've all been revised to not have those problems as far as I can tell. I still would recommend an X1900XT 512MB card instead (even though it is about $50 or so more than the 7900GT...it is a much better card) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
