I've just bought a Huntkey 550W psu (LW-6550HG), and have a GTX560ti 2GB card.
I was reading up on the PSU and I'm now a bit sceptical about using it with my GPU.
Need some advice please.

CPU : Core i3-2120 3.3GHz
GFX : GeForce GTX 560 Ti
RAM : 6GB DDR3 667MHz
HDD : Seagate ST1000DL002 1TB

Well I had the Huntkey Green Power 500W(LW-6500HG) with the FX-6300 and R7 260X Sapphire, the psu handled it pretty well.People kept telling me "Get rid of it ASAP".So I bought the Corsair CX500 V2, but in your case the psu is 550W and Huntkey doesn't deliver labeled power for example: 550W will be 350-450W but if your system only uses 350-450W you should be fine.I personally think Huntkey isn't that bad, I just won't recommend using it over a long period of time.

While not ideal, the Huntkey will most likely be ok for your build. With an i3 and a single 560 Ti, you're looking at max power draw of around 250-275w or so, which won't be stressing on the PSU at all.

And Huntkey is that bad for anything more than general gaming. But for a low-power (wattage-wise) locked CPU and a single 560 Ti, it'll most likely do ok. I wouldn't recommend it to buy, but if you already have it, you should be ok.

GTX470 is 20% more power consumption than GTX560ti, and they almost have the same performance
