Hi,

I want to know if this PSU will support my new GPU a VTX HD 7850 1GB.

PSU: http://www.ebuyer.com/630116-evga-600w-fully-wired-80-bronze-power-supply-100-b1-0600-kr

gpu: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b1235/vtx3d-hd-7850-x-edition-1-gb.html

From what I know, the GPU requires one PCI-E 6 pin connector. I think the PSU doesn't have a 6 pin, but it has 2 8 pin connectors with detachable 2 pin sections to make them into 6?

Will this work? Also I want to upgrade to an r9 270x or something similar after a year or 2 so will this PSU be compatible with that? I've read that those cards require 2 6pin connectors.

If it won't work, then can you recommend something else that will? My budget is under £50 and I think the EVGA 600B is the best one under that price range so far.

Don't know if it makes a difference but I plan to get this MOBO too: Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H http://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyte-ga-z77-ds3h-intel-z77-s-1155-ddr3-sata-iii-6gb-s-sata-raid-msata-slot-pcie-3-(x16)-d-sub-dv

Thanks guys.

I think the PSU pins should be fine.

EVGA are excellent manufacturers for PSU and have never heard of a problem of it. :)
The 600W would be more than enough and when you upgrade to a R9 270x in the future. It would be perfectly fine and can handle it without a problem.

If you plan to save money, then a 500-500W can handle it as well even when you upgrade in the future. However if you do overclock then it would not be enough.
