I know the requirements for the gtx 560 ti is a PSU of 550w or greater with a at least 35 amps on the 12v rail. But I look at the specs for the 620 HX and there is a few 12v specs with none higher then 18 amps. So would this be a good idea to use this graphics card with this PSU. I used a HD 6450 with a cheap 240w SFX PSU once and the Video card would get so hot even though it was only clocked at 500mhz. and Eventually the PSU died.

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to...

^this

the 560ti uses ~147 watts (peak; the 202 max is furmark and you'll never need that)

147/12= 12.25 amps. each individual rail on the HX620 can supply 18 amps (but 12.5 if you are using ALL of them - look at the label - 600 watts max/12 amps/4 rails= 12.5)

since you'll be using two PCI connections, you'll be using 2 different rails. more than enough.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

The Corsair Professional Series HX620 (SKU# CMPSU-620HX) power supply unit, with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 50 Amps and with two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is way more than sufficient to power your system configuration with a single GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card.
