Building my first PC - PSU question

Just wanted to know ifthis PSU is going to be ok, a friend gave it me. Its an Antec 650 true power trio TP3-650. The parts I have order are AMD 955 BE, Powercolor 5850, 4 gig G.skill trident DRR3 1600 ram and M4A79XTD evo mobo.

Yes.

Yes.

yeah your good for that setup.

And remember, if you're gonna use SLI/Cross Fire mode (more than one graphic cards), be sure to get a higher wattage.

Oh and check to see if they're compatable.

Thanks for the replys. I wasn't to sure about this PSU as its roughly 4 years old. Does it matter if its not modular. It says three +12V rails, is that a good thing ?

I probably won't crossfire for a long time, can't afford much after this build. I just got my 5850 in the mail 5 mins ago. My CPU,RAM and Mobo should be here tomorrow or the next day. All this waiting is killing me. I hope you guys can help me out when everything arrives as this my first build and Im sureI will mess something up.

I checked the amps on the 12v, they say 1a min 19a max on all 3 12v rails. Good or bad?

+12V1,+12V2 and +12V3 max load: 52A

Dude you got nothing to worry about.

-It's an Antec, as good as they come.

-It's 650W, even a really bad 650W can handle most graphics cards.

-The 5850 uses as much power as my 4850.

Cool, thx
