I'm pulling the trigger on a Zotac GTX 770 Amp Edition (factory overclocked). It should play well with my other components but I'm a little worried that my current GXII 550w PSU won't be able to handle it.
I've read that a decent 550w PSU should be able to handle even an overclocked 770 but I've sinced been informed my particular model seems to OC higher than some popular cards (ASUS DC2 OC & Palit's Jetstream IIRC). I brushed it off earlier but now that I'm closer to buying it I've gotten myself worried
Am I worried over nothing or do I absolutely need to upgrade my PSU (or get a base 770 instead)?
I'm somewhat new to this so any informative responses would be appreciated.
My current components:
Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.4GHz
ASUS P8Z77-V LK
8gb DDR3 @ 668MHz
1tb Seagate Barracuda
CM GXII 550w
GTX560ti (will be swapped with the 770)
