Do i need to get a higher psu?:confused:

[ManagerJosh]

Who makes the PSU and what model is it?

[swmeek]

He yanked the words right outta my mouth!
Also if you're planning on using this for Sims 3 there's no word yet (that I know of ) if it will be able to use more than one core with the game.
You'd have saved a bit of money by just going with one of the Core2Duo's.
But nice specs all the same!

Jeantech orchid 500 watts PCI Express.

I'll have to admit I've never heard of this brand before.
It must be a UK exclusive brand.
Do you by chance know what the power requirements for the video card are?

[chrst0322]

I couldn't find the sleeve for the box it was in.so i had to look it up on the internet.It states that the minimum power supply requirements are 400 watts or greater system power supply.found the sleeve it states 400w min to 600w for SLI.so i guess i should be ok with 500w.Thanks swmeek for your help.
