Hey

I was reading the build guide here a while back and I think it recommended a 750W PSU for a Nvidia GTX 570 card and i7 processor.

Is the 600W power supply offered in the OED Level 1 build sufficient, since this build has an i7 2600 and GTX 570?

I was considering buying the OED level 1, but want to make sure it has enough power given the overclocking and hardware in it.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Best

digital storm has done load testing, theyve found it to be enough to power the system.  They offer a warranty so personally i wouldnt worry to much.  If i was building my own system i would go for a 750w just for some over head.

The 600W on that system is more than enough for that configuration. In an extreme stress condition by stressing the video card with FurMark, CPU/Memory with LinX, and the hard dirves with HDTune, the system was pulling less than 80% of the power supply's full capacity.

In real world terms, you will never put such a high load even during intense gaming sessions, you're perfectly fine.
