Hi gerbils. I just got a new PC. What a day! Here are the specs..
AMD FX-8350
MSI 990FXA-GD65
2 x 4GB DDR3-1866 (G.Skill)
Powercolor HD7770 1GB
TP-Link TL-WN723N (recycled)
Hitachi 1TB 7,200RPM HDD (recycled)
1 x LG DVD writer
FSP 700w PSU (FSP700-80APN)
Aerocool tower case
Now, the problem is that I'm not too sure my PSU is up to the task of powering this rig. You see, I ordered the PSU from one store and rushed off to look for other parts from other stores (many PC stores in the area where I usually buy my parts). My wife received and paid for the PSU (plus video card and DVD drive) with the money I left her. We were really rushing things that when I checked the PSU she received for me, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I was expecting an FSP Epsilon 700w unit but instead I got this FSP APN Series model. There aren't even any 80+ Bronze logos (there's a dubious 85+ efficiency logo though). Also, both 3.3V and 5V rails can each do 30A, while the 12V rail (or rails?) can do 18A (there are supposedly 3 rails, if I'm correct, because there's a 12V1 = 18A, 12V2 = 18A and 12V3 = 18A). Is that enough to power my rig for the next decade (exaggeration, I know)? Or does that mean the 12V rails can do 3 x 18A = 54A? I don't have any plans to overclock.
Many thanks in advance.
