Hi all, i just bought a "EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SC GDDR5 2GB 192-bit 1046 MHz" for 200$ new ,and i am wondering what would be a good power supply to pair with that card. The info claims a 450W power supply is the minimum but that seems really low. On top of that i cant find how many amps on the 12v rail this card needs!

The two power supplies i am looking at, but not set on are:

CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PF

or

CORSAIR CX Series CX750 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Those are both the same measurements as my 400W power supply that i have in my case now and i cannot fit any power supply that is wider or taller, length is the only thing that is not a problem.

My budget is 125$ i cannot go over that.

Eventually i am going to replace my MOBO with either a LGA 1150 or 1155 and go with an i5 processor, so if the power supply recommended would be compatible with that its a huge plus!

Thanks in advance for the reply it really does mean a lot to get help on this decision!.:)
