Geforce GTX 275 PSU requirements?

Heya guys. I'm thinking of upgrading my pc and buying me a ASUS Gforce GTX 275. Only thing is thats bugging me now is the PSU I'm gna need for it.

I'm thinking of buying a 585 WATT PSU. Would this be enough?

If I buy the GTX 275, my specs will be:

Geforce GTX 275
4 Gig 1066 Transcend RAM
K9A2 Platinum MSI Motherboard
9600+ Phenom, 2.3 Quad Core Processor
500 Gig Seagate Baracuda Harddrive
Liteon DVD-Writer
Normal Cooling + Custom CPU fan

So my question is once again, would the 585 WATT PSU be able to cut it with the GF GTX 275? I'm working with a constricted budget as well.

Thanks a lot guys. Any input would be appreciated a lot.

Meh, we don't have those down in South-Africa . Only the 580, and then 700 watt, which is a good 30$-50$ difference.

I just really wana kno whether or not the 585 would do the trick? I don't really need excess PSU wattage. I'm not going to go SLI or anything. Just the single GPU.

More input please

The PSU I'm looking to buy is the:

GIGABYTE® ODIN 585W 24-Pin Power Supply, 4 Molex & 5 SATA Power Connectors, Intel LGA775 Ready & Approved, Includes Power Cable

Thanks

and that PSU falls short of it

Would this PSU be enough to support a ASUS Geforce Gtx 260 (216 SP) ?

DC OUTPUT: +3.3V | +5V | +12V1 +12V2 | -12V | +5Vsb

Max output current: 30A | 30A | 16A | 18A | 0.5A | 2.5A

Max combined watt: 152W | 408W | 18.5W

Max continuous output: 460W

Peak watt: 585W


This was as much info as I was able to get out of 1 Odin 585 user, should work.

w0tness, you think you could provide us with the "E"code from the psu's label ? ( Found under the backward's RU )

its the one I linked

Hmmm, well I've posted on some other forums as well and it seems the peeps think it should work fine with a Gtx 260. Any other reasons why it would'nt?

Thanks for all the awesome input guys!

That's the model #, take a look at this picture of a label;

See the backwards RU ? , under that there should be a 7 digit code beginning with a capital E, that will let us find the actual maker of the psu.

720 watts should certainly be enough for the GTX275.
The psu is another unit that is hard to find info on, even Gigabytes own site doesn't provide much.
The specs say a single 6+2 pin pcie connector, the manual shows a 6 and a 6+2.

Better 12v and probably cheaper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817182160

Both are 80+ certified. They tend to be a bit more conservatively rated and might save you a bit over time on the electric bill.

Gigabyte also has an 80+ certified 550w that will provide 30+ amps on the 12v rail. I'll bet you a buck it'll handle a 260 or a 275 but of these 3 it looks like the weakest:
