Hey everyone! I am thinking about getting the GTX 780 for my pc, but im not sure if my PSU is good enough.
i have a Raidmax 600 watt with 22A on the 12v rail. Will that be enough for the gtx 780 to work properly?

Yeah, that's kind of scary... I wouldn't try it personally. Cheap PSUs don't have very good protection built in, and when they die, they tend to take other parts with them. That one is considered a tier 5 PSU, which means it should be replaced immediately, regardless of use.

A 780 wants 42A on the +12v rail.

Hello again!
I just wanted to hear if this goes the same with the ASUS GeForce GTX 780 Directcu. I have looked at this card instead and since it is a bit cheaper and actually benchmarks almost the same as the stock 780, it looks preferable.

Yes, it's the same. Enjoy the new card!
