Will this PSU be able to support my Graphics Card?

Kevin_Smith · Nov 22, 2014

The title says it all. I'm building my first gaming pc, and was wondering if my PSU will be able to handle my graphics card. I understand that the gtx 770 only needs 600 W and this is 700 W, but my question is, is it really 700? And will it last me at least 2 years?

Thanks in advance!

It will power GTX 770 . But GTX 970 is a better choice

The PSU has 4x(6+2) pin power connectors , 53A (=636W/12V) on +12V rail

Antec is a fairly good PSU (I own an antec truepower) and yes it is a 700w PSU and unless you overload or stess (highly unlikely) the PSU it should be good for many years.

Thanks for the fast reply rockie_,
I've got a good deal on the MSI gtx 770, made a lot of research and it looks like it's the best for my budget. I will most likely upgrade in a year or two.
I'll most likely be buying this PSU and graphics card.

Other opinions please?

How long have you had this PSU for?

Looks all good to me, If its name brand, Preferably above your needed wattage (SOME! overkill with a PSU is a good thing), Active-PFC and at-least a bronze, then your good.
