I'm going to be purchasing a GTX 560 Superclocked graphics card within the near future of 10-13 days and I was just wondering if my power supply would be good enough for it. You see, it has 500W and the graphics card itself claims that it needs 450, but I've heard from quite a few sources online that it often times needs more than the minimum that it says. Some people have told me that it should be enough and others have said that It'd be unsafe and I should invest in a 750W PSU. The problem with that being my budget. It would likely be quite a few months until I could buy a PSU of that amount, so it would be beneficial to me if I'd be fine using my 500W PSU until at the very least sometime around early January, however if I do not need to buy a PSU at all that'd be even better. I attempted popping open my side panel to see my level of voltage, but I could not find the answer and so I can only say that I have 500W, which may or may not be enough information.
