Hi folks,
At the start of next month I shall be putting an RTX 2070 graphics card into my Desktop (specs below) which only as you can see has a 450W power supply & the minimum recommendation for that card is 550W, so i took a look on the upgrade configurator and that lists 2 550W options and 2 650W options as follows:
Corsair 550W CV - 550 £33.07
Corsair 650W CV - 650 £42.05
Corsair 550W TXm Semi Modular 80 plus Gold Ultra Quiet £73.00
