What wattage power supply would you recommend? The box says minimum of 600W. I have a Corsair 650 W and will never run SLI.

I run a i5 3570k oc'd to 4.2 ghz, 8gb 1600 ram, 3-500gb hard drives an ssd and this gtx 770 off an Antec 650 watt power supply with no issues.

I have a Cooler-Master v850 850w, it has fully modular cables, it depends on your set up but for me I have not had a single issue yet, it is slightly pricey and may be overkill but you get what you pay for.

I found the wattage was not as important as the amps on the 12V rail. This card needs two 8-pin (or 6+2 pin) connectors, and my older 850 watt PSU ultimately did not have the right amps to support the card. (System kept shutting off... card had blown out the PSU.) 650 watts should be fine as long as your two 6+2 pin connectors off the 12V rail can support at least 20 amps each.

What Zachary said. 650 watts is more than enough power to run that card and a bunch of HDDs, disc drives, and peripherals. You picked a great card, too. Not too loud or hot, plays today's games with maxed out settings at a consign at 60 fps or higher and I've had no driver issues to date. Happy gaming.

Subjective reviews have found that this card draws 9-10W at idle, 167W avg when gaming, and 206W peak. The load on your PSU ultimately will depend on your other hardware components (CPU, Memory, Hard Disk Drives, Solid State Drives, Optical Drives). 600W is definitely plenty unless you plan to run SLi or have more than 3 active HDDs + BR Drive.

I have a 850w power supply. A 650 will probably work. But like most things bigger is better and if you're gonna spend the money on a good card I would at least think about a bigger power supply. It's a great card though well worth the price.
864979
I remember correct I use 750W not sure if can run with sli or not i only got 1 card

I have a 600W power supply, and won't be getting SLI. I've cranked up everything to max in every game I've played on it, and it hasn't had any issues. 650W is plenty.

Yes. I am running it just fine off a 650W PS. Make sure its a decent quality Power supply though.

I looked up that build and I don't know that the power supply is beefy enough, 250 or 300w is the size I found for it. 400w is the minimum for this card I believe. (mine is 450w and I have had no issues with the card at all.) I can't recommend it for you on that computer, because it would likely cause issues for you. Sorry. :/

One of these draws 250 W according to Nvidia so x2 = 500. You also need to account for your CPU MoBo and other things so I would go for something ratted with 700+ watts.I recomend this SilverStone ATX12V/EPS12V 750W Silver PFC Power Supply ST75F-P (Black) or this if you want silence http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151087

You should be fine with 750 W. And corsair's CS psu's are fine products. However, I would reconsider the CS series. Not really in line with the rest of the config. While your non overclocked setup will peak just above 600W, making 750 W an efficient PSU, a platinium PSU would be even more efficient, hence cooler and quieter; even save you a few bucks in the long run if you're an avid gamer. 600 W does leave its mark on the energy bill. Another choice : I like the RM series; not really that more expensive and go fanless outside of games. If you can find a way to quiet down your GPU fan (not on the quiet side, even idle) you'll be glad for the tiny price premium. Good gaming ! [EDIT]just to make sure : because of the graphics card, when picking your pSU, make sure each pci cable can handle 28A and the combined 12V rails 50A. This is the case here and should be for any 700W+ PSU. Better safe than sorry, so double check !

I was running an Antec 850W and it was fine. But, when I bought another card to run in Sli, I had to bump it up to over 1000W. I think it will all depend on what else you are running.

It really depends on what other hardware you're planning on incorporating into the build. If it's merely going to be a barebones workstation PC with a DVD drive, You should be fine with a ~500w PSU. However, if this is going into a powerhouse gaming PC, go for a 750w power supply, 1,000w if you plan on using SLI/Crossfire. There are plenty of websites available that have power supply calculators, which allow you to enter all of your hardware and calculate your minimum PSU requirements. Just Google "PC power supply calculator." Hope this helps! It really depends on what other hardware you're planning on incorporating into the build.

The short answer is yes. A 860w psu will work fine. I am using a 750w in mine now and it previously powered two GeForce 465s in sli (those things sucked down power).

Hi, Daniel: If i understand your question correctly, you are asking about what the power supply better for the GTX650Ti... my suggestion is 600W that i am using right now! hope this helps... Forest

Dear friend, I strongly recommend at least 300-350 watts per video card. So just for the cards you would need 900-1050 watts. You still need some more power to the rest of the system. Get that 1600 psu ASAP...

I believe the minimum wattage as stated by manufacturer is 500. But, yes, 600 watts should work for you. I'm currently using the card with a 600 watt PSU with no problems.

Hey Ronel, I have a 750 watt power supply that I am using with this card. However, a standard power supply one with no less than 350 watts should be enough to run the card with no problems. I would recommend getting a 400 to 450 watt power supply if you will be using this card for gaming.

Considering that on average, while running newer games on Ultra settings, I'm only using a total of around 330 watts, I would say it'll probably work. On the other hand, there's literally no reason to use two of these in SLI; even with just one I can run any new game on the highest possible settings in every area and still get 60+FPS. The second card won't do anything.

750W should handle that configuration and a set of SLI video cards with no problem. Your 600W should have boot up your current build as well. If you had some power (lights/fans but not boot or post) I'd suspect a mistake in the build process or other component (ram placement, power connection to MB or even bad seating of CPU). I've had to "re-build" a time or two when I was going faster than I should have. You can look up the "paperclip" method to test that your PSU works (or you can buy the PSU tester). Paper clip method helped me eliminate the PSU as the problem which turned out to be Ram. 750W should handle that configuration and a set of SLI video cards with no problem.

Check out the Corsair CX series. I got the Corsair CX600M from Newegg for ~$80 and it is a fantastic power supply.

Considering how this psu failed in 6 months when i have been doing heavy duty gaming.. I think the answer is no. But if you were asking if this unit can supply enough wattage for your build, the answer is yes. UNLESS you are running SLI/Crossfire, in which case go for an 750 or 800W.

The CX500 isn't the best PSU, but it will run a single 660. SLI may be a different answer
