Can the GS600 handle the GTX560Ti?

[aianta]

The title says most of it.

I have a computer with:

Core 2 Quad Q6600 (@2.4GHz/core)
DVD drive
6USB ports

and all that other HP Pavilion media center m8120n goodness

Now, I really want to upgrade my GPU from the 7350LE to the nice 560Ti obviously this needs a new PSU so I'm thinking about a Corsair GS600. Ive heard that it has 48amps on the 12V rails (can anyone confirm this?) but what that means is above my head. Anyway, the 560Ti's requirment is 500w so I thought that 600w should give me a nice headroom. Am I making the right choice here or should I put more money into this thing? maybe the GS700?

Also here is the page for the GTX560Ti (it says something about being overclocked but Im guessing that its the Ti's overclocked shader cores compared to the GTX 560 that they are talking about. Any advice?

Will this PSU stand to this kind of fire?

GS600 should be more than enough to handle the card. for the tech spec of the PSU you can look it here:

other than that just overclock your Q6600 to eliminate the bottleneck

sadly I cant overclock my CPU because of my motherboard (the standard HP one) so there will be a bottleneck but alas it wont be huge. Also thanks for the reply

I would think it will be pretty huge with those clock frequencies, I wouldn't go much higher than a 6850, then again it depends on what game and resolution we are talking about, but personally I'd go for a 6850 and start saving for a nice build

Oh, I want to run everything on a nice 1920x1080, so that should put enough pressure on the graphics card to remedy the bottleneck caused by CPU. Obviously there still will be some bottleneck but I don't think it will be too noticeable, and even if it is I still think its a worthy upgrade from a 7350LE

actually you got nice cpu. too bad your mobo preventing the cpu to show its full potential
