The info below says it needs 600W that seems like a lot is it accurate?



WINDFORCE 3X 450W Cooling system
Powered by NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 GPU
Integrated with 2GB GDDR5 memory, 256-bit memory interface
Features Dual-link DVI-I/ DVI-D / HDMI / DisplayPort
BASE:1137MHz / BOOST:1189 MHz
System power supply requirement: 600W
 
Solution
That's for the whole 'system' - the whole pc. Usually about 300W is allowed for everything but the graphics card. And there's some headroom built in to allow for 'aging'.
