Reccomended psu for gtx 650 ti

[lurrps]

Hello,
I have a 480 watt PSU and I want to but a GTX 650 Ti but it recomends 400 watts. I have 3 hardrives and a amd 6000+ that pulls 80 watts. Do I have enough to run a GTX 650 Ti.

with 3 hard drives nah I think your pushing the limit. You need a new Power Supply

 

[Sunius]

Which exact power supply unit? Please list model and brand.

 

[killerhurtalot]

HDDs barely pull any power... if he's got enough amps on the 12V rail, he's fine...

 

[lurrps]

I have a coolergiant
Model: EG485P-VHB {24P)
480 Watts

 

[lurrps]

Also I have 2 GB of DDR2 800 Ram would that be enough. Because on newegg it says 4 GB is reccomended

 

[Sunius]

I wouldn't use that power supply unit for GTX 650 Ti. It's ATX V1.3, which means it won't have enough power on the 12 V rail. I'd suggest getting a Corsair CX 430/Antec VP 450 at least.

The power supply's you gave me are less in watts then I already have
Could I go 550 watts though

So how much power do you think a HDD requires?

 

[Rockdpm]

Sorry I guess improper judgement about this one... you guys can take it over from here.. I'm..just gonna...Lie down..now.

 

[lurrps]

Any other good GPU's besides 650 ti that could work on my PSU

 

[Sunius]

Not really sure. Could you read the label of your power supply unit and tell us how many amperes it has on 12V rail?

 

[lurrps]

ac input :115v/230v~, 50-60 hz, 10a/5a
DC output: +3.3v/34a , +5v/40a , +12v1/16a , +12v2/15a , -12v/0.8a , +5vsb/2.5a , +3.3 v &5v/280w , total power/480w

 

[Rockdpm]

a 7770 would be a good card for you!

 

[Commandermadi]

500w+ will put you in the safe zone.

 

[lurrps]

I like Readon but I prefer Nvidia

 

[Sunius]

I wouldn't go with HD 7770. HD 7750 would be a better match for that power supply unit.

 

[lurrps]

So will my current PSU work with a 650 Ti or I have to upgarade my PSU

I gave you my chart so that is the info you needed

 

[Sunius]

No. It will not. It probably doesn't even have the connectors required for the GTX 650 Ti.

 

[lurrps]

Any reccomended 500+ watt Psu that will work with it

 

[lurrps]

It needs 20a and a six pin connector

Would you reccomend this PSU

[johnsonjohnson]

If you really want a quality PSU with more power for future upgrades, then you can go with this ($40 after promo code and rebate).

XFX Core Edition PRO550W

Or else the PSUs suggested by Sunius are good enough.

Edit: Looks like you beat me to it.

 

[lurrps]

Thanks for your help also I have 2 GB of DDR2 800 Ram. On new egg it reccomends 4 GB. What do you think

 

[johnsonjohnson]

It's better to have 4GB of course. But DDR2 is replaced by DDR3 and that makes it more expensive. If you're thinking of upgrading the rest of your system soon, you might want to save up your money instead.
