Will the "Seasonic SS-600ET" PSU suffice to support my GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB GPU? The Max Load (A) at +12V1 and +12V2 doesn't seem that high. Only 23A. I've been told that it has to be 40A or more. Please help me. Here is a link to the PSU.

I'm not sure what to recommend really. I'm not sure about Seasonic's reputation and whether or not this product has much to offer.

According to the NVIDIA site you only really need a minimum of 450 watts for that GPU, but of course that doesn't leave much headroom, so maybe 500 watts or more would be better. A good 500-600 watt 80% Plus efficiency PSU from a reputable manufacturer would suffice if you aren't planning on using much else within your system.

All I can say that 23A seems a little bit low. My Corsair CX600 v2 has 40A on +12V.

Shop around a bit. Hopefully somebody will be able to help more.

Each 12v rail is 23 amps totaling 46. Seasonic is excellent quality in general.

Overall, single rail is usually better but it should have no issues with that GPU.

Well, in the beggining I got a Corsair CX600M, but unfortunately I have to return it cause the screws won't align the tower's screws holes. The shop doesn't have many PSUs. The Seasonic one cost 25 bucks more than the Corsair one. I don't know why, since they are kind of the same. There is also a Thermaltake 630W Smart Series one at the price range of Corsair.
