4870x2 PSU/CASE?

[TobyCRISIS]

I have an Antec 300, would the card fit?
AND
I was looking to get the Corsair 750w Modular PSU, would it power this card along with my other components (in signature)

If not, which PSU would you recommend?

Also... Would the 5850 be a better option for the next 2-3 years?


Thanks :thumb:

the HX750W would power that card with ease 62A on the 12v rail, but I would warn you that it is physically a long power supply at 18CM deep.

I don't know how much clearance the case has behind the PSU

Edit:-

£00 with a similar length PSU

Awesome, cheers!

The card'll fit right in, correct-a-mungo? :D

I can't say as I don't own either card or case.

But a quick google may help?

You`ll be alright, but it may make unusable one of the HDD`s bays. My case is pretty similar to that(more or less).

defo get a 5850, you must be mad to get a 4870x2, not future proof and consumes wayyyyyy more power. something like 100w idle lols

Got a 5870 instead for £200 of the bay :thumb:

I am a VERY happy chappy for that price.

@Stawte, I only have one 500fb F3 atm so bays aren't a problem, thanks for the input though :D

The corsair PSU is overpriced i think, you can get similar quality products cheaper.

I can confirm I can get a 4870X2 in my 300, but I can't have an HDD right next to it. Will take a pic if you'd like.

As long as you move your HDDs down, it should fit fine.

P.S. :( while putting my HD4870 back in, two of the wires for the fan on the Vortexx Neo snapped in half (not sure how), and the GPU got extremely hot. I don't have the stock heatsink, so will have to buy another one. Hope my card isn't fried! :/

the 5870 fits fine and Warhammer looks gorgeous!!!!!! 1280x1080 highest settings, get average of 85/90 fps :O
