Hey.

So when it comes to PSU's I am completely lost.
I'm planning on adding a GTX 760 (Palit GeForce GTX 760 JETSTREAM) and a i5-4430 3.0GHz.

According to a power requirement list I found, it states that the GTX 760 requires 30A and a 500W PSU minimum. I currently have a 560W PSU, with the following specs:

Would this suffice for at least a few months until I can upgrade, if necessary?
I have no plans of OCing either the CPU or GPU.


Thanks in advance!

Corsair PSU are good, I have them myself. Don't listen to those 1 egg reviews, they don't know what they're talking about.
PSU budget?

It's some old out of production, probably bankrupt, brand. I think it's some sort of Andyson rip-off. But I also just realized I need 2 6-pin connectors for this card, so I'll have to get a new PSU anyways.
I might as well ask you, do you have any recommendations for a relatively cheap PSU that will fit in this range?
I've had my eyes on a Corsair for a long time, but the reviews on newegg are always horrible.

Thanks again.

If you want cheap, and you want it to work, then this is the PSU for you:

PSU budget fits nicely for those. I might go with the 650W or 750W in the enthusiasts series. Thanks again for your help.




I will probably end up going with the 650W from Corsair instead of this if I have to choose, it only costs 6 dollars more where I live, but it's also another 50W of power and more cables (the Thermaltake is 110USD here, try not to be jealous).
