Hi there,I want to buy a GTX 650 with 2 GB GDDR5 RAM.
Is my P7PP-430W PSU sufficient for the GTX 650 ? It's this one: bequiet.com - P7PP-430W.

Thank you!

YIp, you are fine, it has dual 18A rails, it can deliver enough power.

Go for it!

Just be careful to correctly balance the load on each rail.

Not gonna matter on a card with just one PCI-e power connector...

If they're only running a card on one rail. But if they're running other things with it he might just need to shuffle the cables :p

Now that I knew that, a GTX 660 would not be possible?? Because I have enough space and it also needs just one 6pin.

officially? No. Technically... Yes, but it would need the entire rail to itself almost.

No, unfortunately because the AMps on split on 2 rails it would be chancy.

OK. But 650 or even a 7770 would be no problem? If yes, I would buy the card now.

How would you shuffle cables if the CPU power connector is the only connector on +12V2 and everything else is on +12V1? FSP is the OEM for that PSU and that's how they usually distribute the connectors on their PSU models of that wattage that have two +12V rails.

Sometimes the only choices you have are forced on you (i.e. you don't have a choice).

I dont pretend to be an expert on PSU, Im limited to wattage per build and basic principles :p  I didn't know the precise connector lay out :)

A GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST also only requires one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

Yeah but the Boost uses almost the same power as the GTX660...
