600w is sufficent - even a decent 500w would cover it

Thank you for your replies! But the card's requirements says that needs a psu at least 550w with "40A" and my psu has 19.5A and 19A = 38.5A... that's why I'm not sure to try with it.

what are the specs of your computer. If you've got a lower power CPU, and your not running anything else on the same rail you should be fine
