Hmmm, a "680W" PSU... What brand and model is it? The only "680W" devices I see on Newegg are from Apevia and Broadway. That means they are PSU-shaped objects, which should not be attached to computer components if there is any chance they will be plugged into an A/C power source at the same time. They may be good for half of what's on their labels, but could die without warning anyway, likely taking parts of your system into the fiery abyss with them.

AH but there is one other 680W...

It is by far the worst power supply I have ever been GIVEN. FOR FREE. Physically, it feels like a feather and is extremely small, and screams cheap. Its made by a manufacturer called APower, and puts out only 20A on each of its 12V rails. One of which doesn't actually even come soldered onto the motherboard.

Its a good and funny on one of the worst $25 power supplies ever made.

680Watt ATX SLI CrossFire Ready Active PFC 12V 2.2 Desktop Computer Power Supply


That isnt exactly the model of the PSU at all, but its an Active PFC and SLI and Crossfire ready, so it might be enough to run that card.
