[Video Card & Power Supply Compatibility] GTX 260 and CoolerMaster550w
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I have already ordered the parts for my new build from newegg.com. After doing this I further researched and learned about rails and amps per rail. Now im questioning my decision on this power supply or if it will work with the video card. I'm on a super tight budget so really would like this to work.
Here are the 2 items in question:

That PSU will be fine for one GTX 260.But if you decide to get another and run SLI,you will need a 650watt PSU with 45amps on the 12volt rail minimum.Have fun.
