Hi there,
Thanks for your replies on the "4,2ghz oc with i5 3570k" thread i made. Now, i have a few other questions. I just found a 270 euros hd 7970 card to buy(in a very good state), so it's clearly a great offer. But since i still want to OC my i5 3570k to 4,2-4,4 ghz, i wonder if my 550w PSU will do the trick. (i've asked some people, and it seems that only overclocking my cpu is not a good enough reason to change my PSU, since 500 watts is the minimum for this kind of system.)
So, what do you think, should i still try looking for another PSU?
here's my psu by the way : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6817371016
Oh yeah, by the way, i have a antec three hundred, and the card is something like 27-27,5 cm, so it should fit, but i'm not too sure (that one http://www.leboncoin.fr/informatique/426...tm?ca=22_s
Thanks
