November 3, 201114 yr Hi,Little of topic, but my system is pretty much for FSX specific (sometimes using it for school either). I got all of my new parts, which I'm really happy about, but not yet a new GPU. But I'm gonna upgrade soon. I'm gonna buy the MSI GTX580 Lightning (1.5GB). I now a GTX560ti might be enough, but I'm also buying it for future purposes, because I'm planning to switch from my PS3 to the PC for gaming. Of course the MSI GTX580 is a great card, but it need some power I think. I currently have the OCZ 700W PSU. Do you think my PSU has got enough power for my new GPU if I upgrade to that new GPU?Thanks Arjen Vandervelde

November 3, 201114 yr I have two Radeon HD5770, Crossfired. A Core i5 OC'ed over 3GHz and six HDD's (no SSD's, just conventional mechanical) in my computer and a Corsair 650W is enough.
