For a system using a single GeForce GTX 680 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 550 Watt or greater power supply that has a combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 38 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated @ 45°C-50°C ambient temperature, is the most important factor.

The Antec High Current Gamer Series 520W (HCG-520), with its combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 40 Amps and with two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is sufficient to power your system configuration with a single GeForce GTX 680.

Looks like a good power supply, should just do it, but i'd get 600w or something like that for future upgrading PC parts or if you choose to go SLI/Xfire etc.

Make sure you've got enough 6-pin PCIe connectors! They look like this:

520w will do it but on the other hand, getting a gtx 670 is a much better choice. performs the same from factory overclocked models

id suggest this one. same thing as the evga ftw, but made by galaxy
