Will this psu run 560 ti (No SLI)

[Rannek]

Will this 550w 80+ certified psu run a twin frozr 560 ti and an i5 2500k? Probably won't do too much overclocking on the 560 ti, but I will do some overclocking with the i5 2500k. I do not plan to use SLI.

yeah it will

do you already have that psu?

 

[Rannek]

No I do not.

 

[obsidian86]

thats an ok psu but there are better options for the price

where you buying from ?

 

[Rannek]

United States, from Newegg. I'm open to any suggestions, I just don't think I need much more than that for single card use/decent overclocking. Some people keep recommending 750w but I don't plan to SLI, so I think it'd just be a waste.

I have a 500W 80+ PSU and a 460. You could run 560 SLI on 500-600W quality PSU.

yeah 750 is the range for sli 570/470

but here is a better option then the bp550

I see it has 30 less watts, but I'm assuming the singular V rail and amps are better? I'm not too knowledgeable of PSU's. Thanks for your input though, I appreciate it.

 

[obsidian86]

modern psu's are are actually specified buy their 12v rail which is also where the most power is drawn from on a psu
cpu
graphics
motherboard

all use the 12v rail the neo eco might have an overall less wattage but it has more amps available on the 12v rail

and the antec bp unit is more a low end office jockey psu
the antec neo eco is a step higher in being an entry level enthusiast power supply

 

[Rannek]

I understand. Thanks for your information and time. So you're saying if I were to get the Neo Eco I'd be fine for a single 560 ti with some mild overclocking on it? With possibly a bit more overclocking on the i5 2500k?

 

[obsidian86]

the neo eco 520 will run as much as a gtx 570 clocked till the pcb combusts a full water cooling system and cpu clocked till it melts through the board
