Wez Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Nope, you are looking at around 700W for a setup like that, maybe 800W, this is according to the Guru3D site :- http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-260-review/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I think you will struggle to get a decent PSU in that price bracket and a UPS, the PSU is going to set you back about £100 and the UPS £50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Right, I've gone for a Corsair 750W PSU as I'll definitely need that. I'll have a think about what to do about getting the power smoothed out. Whether to do something with the consumer board, which will benefit the whole house, or something local to my PC. Cheers guys!

Obviously I'm not going to be pulling 750W all the time the PC is running, but on the occasions that it did start ramping up would it not just trip the UPS out?

TLicense Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 lol, I think I'd have to build a garage on the side of the block of flats for the first one there Gav. It's only really twigged how much power this thing can actually consume if it's being used to full extent. According to this, http://www.absak.com/library/power-consumption-table 750W is as more than most washing machines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see if it was me, and I do intend to do it when I build my house, I will a UPS supply clean power round the house, and run LED/low wattage lighting off the unit. If add up the amount of low energy bulbs you have round the average house, you could probably run them off an inverter and a 12v battery, disconnect the main rings power the lighting ring a wire it up to the inverter.
