600W PSU for Core i7 and 4870 X2, is it enough?

[TyPe-ZeRo]

I know spending a lot of money on a Core i7 without buying a PSU that will easily pump delicious power into the power hungry cores is a bit confusing but i'm in a scenario where I will have to wait two weeks before ordering a new PSU to go along my new rig.

Anyway, i've already ordered my parts so the final build will be:

Intel Core i7 920
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
OCZ Gold 3x2GB DDR3
ATI Radeon 4870 X2

Powered by a lowly OCZ GameXStream 600W.

Will my PSU be able to handle the i7 and 4870 X2 at load? (Gaming?)

Thanks

i would say that more than likely it will do the job just fine but i would still be safe since i thank it asks for a 650 watt psu to be safe. i recommend this CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W psu for a little over $100 bucks that is a nice deal

I'll be getting an 850W Corsair soon, I just want to know if my PSU will allow me to put together and enjoy my build until I can get the PSU and swap it.

well i built a core i7 system for my buddy and he only had a 650 watt corsair and a gtx 260 black edition and it only pulls around 400 to 450 watts at load i think. it wont hurt to try i mean either it wont boot or it will it wont hurt anything but im sure it will work.

Power deprivation from parts can cause irreversible damage to all components.

My 4870 X2 is a power hungry card...

man im sure it will work the 4870 x2 wont pull more than 175 watts at most by itself
