Enough power?

[traumaiv]

currently have a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016 for powering my phenom ii x4 960t. my graphics card died so i was looking into one of these : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130758 was wondering if i would be able to power it? i wont be suprised if i cant but i want to be safe and down the line ill buy a new psu.

You should be fine. Antec is an extremely reputable company. That PSU isn't the most efficient, but it'll definitely handle your GPU. A system with a 448 shouldn't use more than 350W or so under heavy load: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2011/11/29/zotac-geforce-gtx-560-ti-448-cores-review/7
You'll use more, but not a ton more, overclocked. I do recommend that you overclock, by the way: the 560 Ti 448 OCs beautifully, and it can often approach the performance of a stock 580.

+1. Good PSU, and please yes, that card wants to be overclocked!

yeah thats why i wanted to get it as it is 200$ cheaper then the 580 and with some simple tuning it performs equal to it. but thanks makes my purchase a lot easier and worry free
