Will 500 watts be enough to support a EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB?

FlyingSentry · Apr 18, 2013

I have a i5-3570, DVD-RW drive,and 3 case fans. I am planing to get a Nividia EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2 GB. I have a 500 watt power supply from Corsair ( CX500M ). Should I just upgrade my PSU with my graphics card, just leave the PSU alone, or just save $100 and get a EVGA GTX 660 Ti 2GB Superclocked?

I would avoid the 660ti, as power draw is going to be pretty much the same, and it has some memory bottlenecking issues that the 670 is free of. Since you aren't overclocking your processor, I'd say that you'll probably be able to run a 670 FTW off of a 500w power supply, but if you aren't, then upgrade. Yes, it would suck, but no point in upgrading now if there's a chance you'll be able to do it.

A CX500M should be fine for a GTX 670.

Given the relatively low power draw of the other parts of your system, you should be fine with the CX500.
