Yes, it calls for a 500 watt, but a high quality 450 watt would do.

Ahmadjon · Mar 29, 2014

Yes it will be more than enough!
For single GTX-760 you need a 500W or greater PSU with 30amps on a 12v rail!
XFX550W has 44amps on 12v rail which is more than enough!

Yes it will be quite enough, i run a 550w on a much more power hungry setup myself

You can always check the recommended psu size on this site:
http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

gives me a reading of ~400w for your system, even 450w psu would do fine.

Yup, it's OK.

Igaito · Mar 29, 2014

good because i just found an amazing deal on it http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=125449

It would probably just be enough. The GPU requires a minimum of 500w, if I were you I'd go for a bigger one.

Igaito :

yes,no problems... xfx power supplys are made by seasonic so quality is assured ... too many people seem to buy overkill when looking for a psu ....
on a recent OC3D video tom logan ran a GTX780ti using a 420 corsair (RM series ) psu and even when it was stressed the psu never missed a beat ....
its not so much about wattage but efficency ... make sure the psu is 80+ efficent and it has a healthy +12v rail(s) .... and check sites such as johny guru which have excellent reviews and a forum ....
a 500w seasonic would power that system without any problems
