Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

I'd go with something better

 

[lilotimz]

Go with something such as a XFX 550 , Antec HCG 520 , Antec Neo Eco 520, Antec EA 500d, Corsair CX /500/600 V2 ~ as a minimum.

 

[nitesh45]

so i need a psu that has 500 watts or more for both of them

 

[lilotimz]

You need a quality PSU with enough 12v amps. All of the above has 40+ amps on the 12v rails and is from reputable companies , well reviewed, and of good quality.

Corsair or XFX.

thanks guys

CiT 500W Black Edition PSU is that ok???

 

[lilotimz]

nope. Crappy unit. Get a Seasonic, XFX, Corsair, Antec.

 

[nitesh45]

how about this one CORSAIR CMPSU-650TXUK

 

[lilotimz]

Very very good. More than enough for everything but try to find the version 2 one. It's much more stable and has a higher efficiency and slightly better internals. But the original one is excellent!

P.S. I have an original TX 750 aka big bro to the 650

I got the same card and i had to put a 550 in , the system would turn on then just power down on me.

 

[nitesh45]

thanks for everything guys
