Hey guys, I'm looking into getting a new graphics card specifically a GTX 670, and I was wondering if my Rosewill 630W PSU would be good enough for it (mostly asking for the GPU power requirements i suppose).
Card I plan to buy: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-DisplayPort-PCI-Express-N670-2GD5/dp/B008BGXYAS/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1370826295&sr=1-6&keywords=gtx+670

SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply.

I would upgrade the PSU to this one.I wouldn't trust most of the Rosewill lineup.

 


Unfortunately reliability can not be tested in a bench. Most of us have a really big hate for Rosewil.

IMO, there's no reason not to try it. If the PSU dies, it has the protections so everything will be ok.
 


On paper it has.
I recall a similar issue a few years back when Rosewil looked good on paper, but so many melted down. Thank goodness I never had the pleasure.
 


Ag its just an opinion. Once again. Benches do not tell the whole story. But yeah, they improved a lot from those dark days. :D
 


True. Like Coolermaster. But don't expect me to get a CM. Hehehe...

His avatar is what's intimidating me. What, with those soulless piercing eyes, that sharp beak, and the posture that makes you know that you're nothing but a mere mortal.
 


His avatars have always been intimidating. LOL Machine of war the last time, I believe.
Anyway we are getting of track and its my fault. OOPS.
