I have Antec VP 650W PSU. I am asking if it can handle a non reference GTX 1070 which may have 8+6 or 8+8 power connector?

How much maximum powered Graphics card can it handle?

Specs-
i5 6500
2 X 8 GB DDR4 @ 2133
1 X 120 GB SSD + 1 X 240 GB SSD

Please let me know.

Hi vijay_001

Yes your system is completely fine, the recommended PSU is 500W, with your system you'd be using just about 400W with the GPU installed.

Thou I do recommend you reach a bit more and get the 1080 (I have an MSI GTX 970 4Gb but I'm getting the MSI GTX 1080 at some point).

Hello, I would love to get a 1080 but the thing is, I live in India & Amazon India sellers sell it at a double price ($1100). Even if I order it from Amazon USA, the shipping charge would be over $150 which is too much for me.

Go to nvidia India website and select one of the sellers after you click on buy now. You'll get the card at much cheaper rates.
