A little bit of yourself in this section. There are 3 three text graphics associated to this section; Subscribe me, Advertisements and About Me. I hope either one will suit your need. Phenom II x3 710 (stock)
790GX chipset
Radeon HD4770
It’s easy enough to find reviews for these components individually, but I haven’t been able to find any results using this platform. Anyone have any info on this?
I should have clarified.
I’m not concerned with choosing a sufficient PSU. I’m interested in finding any power consumption test results based on this platform (Phenom II x3, 790GX, HD4770).
as a general rule, you assign about
30 watts per core (90 here).
20 watts per harddrive
120 watts per graphics card
100 watts per motherboard.
In most cases, you want:
400 watt PSU for a dual core or less.
600 watt for a quad core
800-1000 watt for dual graphics cards.
The reason for getting more PSU than you need is because a PSU working near max is less efficient than one working at half capacity. also, PSU’s come with a limited amount of rails. usually, the better rails come with the higher wattage drives ("SLI-Ready!" means it has enough rails.)
I haven’t seen the specs on the PII’s, but I would guess you should get a 500-600 watt PSU.

That won’t help. You need to know what kind and how many drives, usb devices, pci devices, etc.
