550W for the GTX 760?

CornFlakez39 · Jan 29, 2014

I currently have this power supply:

Will it be able to handle this graphics card?

Also, do the two go together? (Wiring, Volts, 6-Pin, etc.)

I doubt it, that power supply is very cheap and it looks poorly made. I recommend a Corsair CX 500 for the 760

It's nowhere near enough. It only offers 25A, and you need at least 30A.

Compare it for example with this XFX 550W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013
which offers 44A and would do the job.

They're both claiming 550W but only the XFX delivers it.

Edit: I had the wrong number for minimum amps, fixed now. The GTX 770 needs 42A, and the XF 550W could handle it too. For GTX 760 you need 30A, and Logysis can't even handle that.

44 amps on the 12v rail , more than enough power , and high quality capacitors.

If it was your decision, which of the two would you choose for that particular GTX 760?

The Rosewill Hive 650W is rated 46A. That's 2A more than the XFX 550W. Good deal.
If you get it make sure to use the promo code, don't pay $79.99.
It is a better deal than the XFX at the same price.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 29, 2014

The first is made by the best SEASONIC , but the HIVE is a tier 2 at a killer price , both units are solid , pick one.
