500W PSU for GTX 560 Ti

[bluegold316]

Hey Everyone!
I have this PSU >> http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=3738
And I wanna buy this GPU >> http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=01G-P3-1561-AR

Is my PSU enough for the GPU or need to update it?



p.s I have 2 HDDs as well.

No. That PSU is a low quality crap PSU. 70% efficiency is bad get at least 80%. Here's a good PSU that'll be able to run well with your CPU and mobo power requirements included. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017

I already have that PSU......

A test system with a GTX560ti in full stress use's less than 320watts.Your PSU is capable of delivering 360watts on the +12/v rail.Technically speaking it will work but you really are pushing your limits with it and I have doubts about that PSU even being able to deliver what it says it can.If that's all you got and you can't upgrade it I would suggest at least going with a 6850 until you get a better PSU.

What are your full system specs?(CPU,RAM,etc.?)

i7 870 dh55hc 8gb ram...

 

[purple stain]

My fault.I didn't realize you meant a GTX560ti.Reread my previous post.

With an i7 and 8GB of RAM I would suggest going with a 6850.That's the most powerful card I feel safe enough using with that PSU.

With no overcloking anywhere, it will run, but as purple stank said, its pushing it.

The biggest issue you will have is that psu is not meant to run at 90% or more of its capacity, so the electic bill will skyrocket .

I strongly suggest you get a better PSU.

Alright I will post a list of PSUs that I can get from my area.

I your budget allows it I would suggest going with that Antec 850watt.That way you have the option of SLI'ing if you choose to in the future.

ANTEC CP850 850WATTS CONTINUOUS POWER PSU

 

[bluegold316]

And what if my budget doesn't allow that?? whats the second best option?

 

[purple stain]

Well what is your budget?

Can you afford this one?

ANTEC EA500 500WATTS CONTINUES POWER

 

[bluegold316]

I can afford CP850 just wanted to know what was the second option...

 

[purple stain]

Oh I see.Well then get the Antec 850watt.It's always good to futureproof when you can espically when buying a PSU.With that PSU you can SLI GTX560ti in the future.

 

[bluegold316]

Alright, thanks Purple stank and everyone else! You guys are always helpful!

 

[purple stain]

Goodluck
Happy Gaming!!!
