Hello,

I have recently built my first custom computer here are the components.

MotherBoard: Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP
CPU: I-5 4670k
RAM: Cosair Vengence DDR3 1600MHz 8GB (x 1)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 650 (x 1)
PSU: Cosair TX650M
SSD: Samsung 840 pro series (x 1)
Fans: 120mm (x 2)

My problem is that when I connect the GPU to the power supply the system (even the fan on the GPU) will run, but nothing will display. I'm assuming I don't have enough power for the GPU because when I disconnect the GPU from the power supply, my system runs fine. So basically, my CPU is handling the graphics at the moment but I want to use the GPU to handle the graphics. I'm not sure if 650w is enough to power my system with this GPU or if I'm doing something wrong. If I don't have enough power can you recommend me a power supply that should supply enough power for this system.

Thanks!

PSU: Cosair TX650M < That is more than enough power to run your specs.
