I bought a pre-built desktop with the following specs in 2014 and now looking to upgrade some of the hardware.
Motherboard: DH87-4440 Asus H87M-E CPU: Intell Core i5-4440 3.1-3.3GHz HD Graphics 4600 PSU: Min-ATXB Mini Tower ATX Case High Efficiency 80Plus 350W PSU Hard drive: ST1000DM003 Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM 6Gb/s 64MB SATA RAM: 4GB 1600 DDR3 RAM x2 I'd like to do some lightweight commercial CFD (CFX/Fluent) and also to test my own code (MPI/CUDA). Hence I'm thinking of the following: + GTX1060 6GB + 500GB SSD I wonder if my 350W PSU will be enough for 1060. The official recommendation is 400W but that is based on a system with i7 CPU. Any comments / advice is welcome. |
