Not sure if my PSU is good for GPU

Jamiekins69 · Nov 4, 2013

I have a WideTech 550W PSU: http://www.mwave.com.au/product/widetech-550w-power-supply-12cm-silent-fan-aa49247

I would like to purchase a ASUS GTX760-DC20C-2GD5 GPU: http://www.jw.com.au/asus-gtx760-dc2oc-2gd5-new-gtx760-oc-edition-p-14358

But I'm not sure if I can connect it all properly since ASUS is 8 pin? Would I need to buy a new PSU, or can I connect things a certain way?

I suggest another PSU, a 550watt with no PCIe power connector can hardly have a strong +12 volt rail.

http://www.jw.com.au/thermaltake-w0355-litepower-600w-power-supply-w0355-active-pfc-p-14030 would this be good enough?

It would but is not very good.

rolli59 :

http://www.jw.com.au/power-supply-units-c-169_42 what PSU would be good for the price range of $50-100?

Best deal I can find there http://www.jw.com.au/corsair-vs550-550w-power-supply-p-14838 But here is a much better unit http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcg520

But that's a 550W also, why would I get that one? Wouldn't this: http://www.jw.com.au/thermaltake-w0355-litepower-600w-power-supply-w0355-active-pfc-p-14030 be better?

Corsair is a better brand and rated at 550watt constant output! The TT is 600watt peak but 500watt constant! So the 550watt PSU is actually bigger than the 600watt which should be labeled 500watts!
