I'm looking to upgrade my GPU for black friday (doesn't necessarily have to be on sale) but, I am concerned about my PSU. My PSU is an Antec 550W: http://goo.gl/cZ06 which would seem sufficient for most low/mid-range cards, but I'm not good at calculating power consumption.
As you can see, the PSU is modular but unfortunately I lost some of the spare cables and currently only have one 8 pin connector that powers my msi hd 6850. I can probably contact antec for spare cables but, it might take a while toreceive them.
Therefore could anyone recommend me a GPU that would be suitable for my machine (full specs belo) and preferably use a single 8 pin power cable?
PSU: Antec 550W
CPU: AMD Phenom II x 4 970 (3.5ghz)
MB: MSI 760gm-E51
GPU: MSI HD 6850
RAM: Ripjaws Series 8GB 1333
(PS Im not interested in OCing)
