Is my PSU good enough for the EVGA 550 ti?

[derek1214]

I plan on getting the 550 ti. My PSU is 500W and says 12v1@18A 12v2@18A. Will this be enough for the EVGA 550 ti? Here's the PSU i have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817154026&

On NCIX it says minimum of 24 amps, do i have enough amps? I'm confused about all this... if someone could help it would be appreciated. Thanks

Size wise it is fine, quality it is junk! 24amps is on combined +12 volts which yours exceeds.

This PSU failed to deliver its rated wattage.

Still i would recommend getting Antec Vp450W as it is 30$ tight now.

Or Cx 430 V2 .

Your psu is a tier 5

IMO change it ASAP.

That 550 Ti need 140W so 1 of this PSU that i said will be ok !

Good Luck !
