Hello everyone, I've been hanging around here for a while but never posted before. But I do have a question regarding my build, so now is a good time as ever to start. My system has a 600 watt PSU from PC Power and cooling and I was wondering if it would be capable of handling the graphics card I wanna put in it. The 2 GPU's I'm looking at are either a gtx670 or a 7970. I figured it should be OK running the 670 but am wondering if a 7970 would pushing it too far. I just don't want to be pushing this thing to the screaming edge.
the rest of my system is here:
motherboard - asus p8z77-i deluxe mini itx
cpu - intel i5 3570k, overclocked to 4.4ghz
ram - 8gb corsair dominator 1866 ddr3
1 hdd, 2 ssd, 4 case fans
corsair h100i cpu cooler
psu is a 600w pc power and cooling, link here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703036
I am looking to have decent headroom for an overclock as well as possible hard drive additions. So the 2 cards I'm looking at are these:
asus gtx 670

xfx 7970ghz

I know the 7970 is faster and would like to use it, however, I am not sure if I will be asking too much out of my power supply running it, especially if I add some more to it in the future it seems like it might get close and was just looking for some input before I pull the trigger...
thanks
