[hamza_93]

hello.
i have cooler master 600w extreme psu about a year old . ihave never overclocked my rig. so is my psu enough for gtx 460. please reply as soon as possible

Not a great power supply but it should be able to handle a GTX 460.

450W PSU recommended by Invidia for a single 460. You have more than enough. You also have two 6 pin connectors. Your good to go.

but 600w extreme power has only 18Amp while gtx 460 requires 24Amp minimum to play it, correct me if I m wrong as I myself have the 600w extreme n want to buy gtx 460.

Is that your PSU?
It has 18A on 12V dual rails, so yes, you can run a single GTX460 with that PSU, don't worry about that.

yes it is! but the model number is change. mine is RP-600-PCAR-E3 while this link has RS-600-PCAR-E3. I don't know wht is the exact difference but all the things looks same to me

 

[qaise23]

pls! I m stucked between two brands...Sparkle gtx 460 calliber or Evga gtx 460 External Exhaust. which one is better?

 

[wa1]

EVGA with external exhaust, it blow the hot air out the back of card...
EVGA is one of the best brand, go for it.

Your PSU is good enough. I'm using a CoolerMaster 700W Real Power for my GTX470 and it's running just fine!

As for the GPU, go with EVGA between the two. Its definitely the better choice.
