ASUS GEFORCE GTX 660TI DIRECTCU II OC Power supply unit question

[Glays]

I bought an ASUS GEFORCE GTX 660TI DirectCU II OC, and I currently have a 460W PSU, will that be enough to run it? I'm not willing to overclock it to the max, I'm wondering if my PSU is good enough to just run it at normal workloads.

If the PSU of yours is a rated one and has a 6 pin PCI-E connector than it can run the GPU. But the power is bare minimum for your system to operate. So go with atleast 550W rated PSU to be safe.

If you are interested in buying a new and good PSU:

Depends on what the 460W power supply is.

Unfortunately I cannot buy from NewEgg, but I found a 700W PSU that looks good enough on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M9RWGG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Currently on my PC, I have:
ASUS GEFORCE GTX 660TI DIRECTCU II OC
Intel i7 2600 @ 3.40 Ghz
8 GB ram
2 TB hard drive
Windows 7 64-bit.

Any comments about this PSU?

Mmm...I wouldnt buy that one persay. But if you can buy from Amazon, here is this:

Either of those would do, I've worked with both.

Thanks for the response, I'm going to fit my new GPU soon and I'll see what happens, if my current PSU wont cut it, I'll buy the 700W Corsair one you recommended.
