HI, my brother decided to puchase a Graphics card but the problem is his PSU. He's got this one
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/450w-...ssfire-fan-atx
it's 450w but it's got 2 6 pin PCIe connectors, i wanna know this will handle a GTX 560 Ti
his rig
Core i5 2400
2 TB samsung F3
500 GB samsung F3
4 GB ram
Bluray reader
Easily.
On Nvidia page it says:
Graphics Card Power (W) 170 W
Minimum Recommended System Power (W) 500 W
Should be no problem with that card.
Core 2 due @3.8
nVidia has to take into account that most "500 watt" PSUs can barely push a few hundred before they give out.Originally Posted by pozmu
Are you guys sure? i don't wanna buy it and blow up his power supply!
Am i gonna see much of a performance decrease if I opt for a non Ti version?
Yes, as the non-Ti version is just an overclocked 460.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Yes, sure. No, you won't see much of a performance decrease, but there is one.
Alright, cool
now if SCAN get's the damn power supply comes back in stock!!

He doesn't need a new power supply!!
WTF? why did i say that?He doesn't need a new power supply!!
He needs the graphics card, i need the power supply for my new build.
guess i'm thinking about too many builds in my head!
anyway, we opted for a Asus directCU GTX 560 non Ti just to leave some head room for the PSU and for budget issues , should arrive in a couple of days
I always use this to calculate the wattage required.

I've also got a 550Ti but i'm getting a 550w PSU to go with it as i plan to overclock it and my CPU

Read the last few posts
Yes, plenty
I wouldn't recommend it myself, you'll likely be putting the PSU under constant strain - increasing noise levels and thermals, as well as shortening the lifespan of the product.
The PC spec looks pretty good for the most part, so I think you should invest in a slightly better PSU to match - rather than having an obvious bottleneck to your system. Should be able to pick up a branded 600W unit for ~£50.
450 is just ok , but in your place would spend £40 for new one 600 or 750 ( in future can go sli or crossfire)
