    I've got a question about my rig. I'm planning on buying a second RHD7870, and i know my PSU can handle crossfire.
    My i5 3570K isn't overclocked yet, and running with stock cooler 3.4Ghz. Now my question is: Can i overclock my CPU with an aftermarket cooler without having a power shortage?

    Specs:
    Corsair TX650 @650Watts
    Intel Core i5 3570K
    Sapphire HD7870Ghz
    Corsair Vengeance 1600 4GB x 2
    Asrock Z77 Extreme4
    1SSD+1HDD
    2x120mm Case Fans

    Thx in advance! :)

    I'd have thought you would. Do you intend to OC the GPU's too or only the CPU?

    I'll be honest and say I don't know what power draw two HD7870's will be in full load, but from reading Hilberts review of the Corsair CX600M he runs a GTX590 and an I7 870 @ 3.8ghz with no problems and hits around 480W during the load testing.

    Your TX650 should be fine...
