Power supply usage?

TheZombicidal · Nov 11, 2013

I want to get a new graphics card soon and I need to know if my power supply will handle it or if I'll need a new one.
here's a link to an image showing all of my components.

Also, I have a 600W power supply, and want to get an EVGA GTX 770.

What brand is your powersupply,

powersupplies are not created equal, many of the generic brands can't produce 1/2 of their listed power ratings.

Depending on the brand you may have enough power.

It's an XTREME GEAR 600W ATX power supply

Sorry to inform you but that is a horrible power supply and will not run a 770.

This will run it.

definatly not a well known brand i would not chance it, get ur self a decent 600-700w PSU imo

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 11, 2013

The XFX 550w , I listed above will run a single 770.

I just need to know if I can trust the power supply I have now until I get another one?

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 12, 2013

Yes , but don't upgrade your video card till you get a new PSU.

TheZombicidal · Nov 12, 2013

I've already ordered the new card. Will the new card work with this psu?

Would this one be good to use?
