potatochobit Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) your processor is a black edition right? I believe it can be overclocked, I saw someone said they got 3.0 easily your PSU is the bare minimum, 5850 says it requires a 500w PSU, I would upgrade this first just to be safe you should go wth this Corsair power supply you can save 20$ if u get the non-modular version Edited January 24, 2010 by potatochobit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uberamdguy Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 you can still overclock it if its not the black edition (as long as you motherboard supports overclocking) your just not going to get as high as numbers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
