    Default Power Supply the suck?

    After looking at my specs on my Navi, I started to wonder about somethings (really, just a way to improve on it).

    Upon my looking, I came across my Power supply only being 600W (Power Supply)

    My Ram being 4-4-4-12 4 slots of 2 GIgs = 8Gigs (A-DATA)

    2 8800GTS 512 Video cards (ECS)

    Q6700 CPU (CPU)

    MSI P7N SLI Platinum (MSI)

    2X Hard drives Sata set to raid O (HD)

    So, now, the biggest Problem is that it all needs to be replaced, lol, but I have that in the making right now.
    But I still want to be able to use this comp to 5 man WoW. But it's been dropping in FPS ever since Wrath. I for some reason
    think that its my Power supply not being able to handle the load... I have been out of the game in making comps for a while now, so there is a
    lot of random new crap out there that I am lost on, lol, but as far as I can tell from the Power Supply that I have, it supports SLI of a weaker model of my Video card.
    So that sort of rings a bell.

    Anyone else replaced their Power Supply for better porformance?

    Well, I am not some computer mega guru but I really wonder if that isn't enough power for you.

    Ok, it's what I assumed, but if I learned anything, assuming is something that gets you in trouble (Stupid Engineering side coming out, lol).

    I thought I had ordered a different PS when I was building the comp, but I guess I clicked the wrong one. Though, I don't even think that name is the same one. I had gotten a Rosewood, or rose something.
    Also, it seems like most of the items I have are now replaced by something else, or they don't sell it anymore.

    Rosewell, Newegg's cheapo brand. Run, don't walk and replace it. Just having one in your house will cause all kinds of maladies including hair loss and hives

    If you want a rock solid PSU, then look no further than PC Power & Cooling .....

    available at Newegg\

    Out of 25 pc's I've built only one of the early 500w units had to be returned after 3 yrs of use. These guys really stand behind their product offering 5-7 yr warranties :thumbup:

    Lol, thanks for the replys. Yeah, I ended up getting a 1000W PS, I hope that will make my FPS not suck so much, I don't see a reason why it would with my setup, but eh. :whistling:

    Little heads up on the PS. Yeah, that was the problem, the second I loaded up the comp, it moved a lot faster on certain things, and even loading/playing wow has jumped up a lot. I can move around in Dalaran without a problem now.
