[ASK] Can my PSU handle it?

[didhot123]

Hello, fellas!

I'm planning to buy a new GPU..my target is Calibre X560 DF, it's a factory OC'd GPU and it's very fast..

since it was factory OC'd, then i think it'll consume more power than the reference..

and i wanna ask that can my PSU handle that GPU?

my PSU is Dazumba 500w +80..google it if you haven't heard it yet

additional specs info (if needed):

AMD Athlon II X4 635 standard clock
2GB RAM
Seagate 160GB SATA (idk if it's SATA/2/3 nor the RPM)

thanks in advance, fast response would be much appreciated

I would get an antec, corsair, or ocz 600-650w. http://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play?p=how%20to%20install%20a%20new%20computer%20power%20supply&tnr=21&vid=1343716394449&l=382&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts2.mm.bing.net%2Fvideos%2Fthumbnail.aspx%3Fq%3D1343716394449%26id%3Dd095867816d2172fc47e26060ca00dab%26bid%3DVnxOjBrAdvO5rg%26bn%3DThumb%26url%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252fwww.youtube.com%252fwatch%253fv%253dMAZAljRrung&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DMAZAljRrung&sigr=11ac2q5ah&newfp=1&tit=How+to+install+new+fan+into+computer+PC+power+supply

A good quality 500 watts PSU, such as Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, will handle this card.

I am not familiar with the brand of PSU that you mentioned, but if you are confident that it is a high quality PSU, then you should be fine.

:lol: :lol:
The name alone is reason enough not to Google it.

Looks like you asked this before http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/335306-33-processor-bottleneck
What is the total amp rating on the +12 volt rail of that PSU?

I couldn't find anything on Google as far as specs. Nor have I ever heard of it.

I certainly would NOT use that to power a overclocked GTX560 without even knowing what the specs and ratings are.
