dkzombie · Jun 15, 2014

Hello, i'm looking to upgrade my graphics card but i wan't to be 100% sure my Power Supply can run it.

Here are the specs:

My current card is a GeForce 210 , which doesn't connect directly to the power supply.

If more info needed please ask!

Thank yoU!!

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation on the GeForce [500] series:

GeForce GTX 560 [Ti[- On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-560ti

Thermal and Power Specs:
Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) = 97 C
Maximum Graphics Card Power (W) = 210 W
Minimum System Power Requirement (W) = 550 W
Supplementary Power Connectors = Two 6-pin

I would not trust a Raidmax PSu to any system build.

Grab a:

XFX Core Edition
Corsair TX V2, RM (not CX or CSM)
Antec HCG / HCP
Seasonic M12

560ti requires 2x6pin pcie power cables. the link refers to a psu that provides none. so that psu cannot run it. anyway raidmax arent quality units. you need a psu upgrade. what are your current specs and what budget do you have?

Well reason is i found that card for 100$ and if i had to get a new psu I wouldn't spend more than another 100$ so $200 total for both.

Is that possible? my system specs are:

Several options in my post above < $100

chris987 · Jun 15, 2014

choose from the above recommend psu. 550w of any of these will serve you well. also you will be able to o/c both gpu and cpu Core 2 Overclocking Guide with the money left grab an aftermarket cpu cooler!
