Wattage needed for GTX 760?
Hey hardware wizards im just wondering something, Im sending my broken GTX 660 back for a replacement card and they told me im going to be receiving a gtx 760, and I was wondering, will my system be good enough to run this card? Wattage wise.

XFX core 550w Power Supply.
(Features of PSU • 550W of continuous power at 50°C
• Tight voltage regulation (±5%)
• High efficiency operation up to 85% (80 Plus Bronze)
• Single, high power +12V rail (up to 53A/636W)
• High quality Japanese brand capacitor (105°C)

• Supports the latest ATX12V and EPS12V standards
• Active PFC with Universal AC input

and my motherboard is a ASrock fatal1ty peformance 2014.

The 550w xfx is a great option.

A system with a gtx760 is recommended:
-500W
-2 PCI-e cables
-30A on the +12v rail.

The XFX 550W core edition easily meets these requirements.

Power Specs:
500w minimum PSU.

You just barely make it. The card uses around 170w.
