GTX 260

currently i have the above, but with an 8800gt, considering getting a GTX260, hoping the PSU is up to it

Will be fine!

Those corsairs are great - i've run my 260 on a 600w tagan and even a 580w hiper type-r :eek:

with no issues.

Im running a HX520W on an E8400 @ 4.3Ghz, GTX280, & 2x 750Gb F1s in RAID0 and the thing hasnt skipped a beat, touch wood! Its probably the best sort of wattage for your rig as iirc Corsairs are most efficent at 80% load which yours should be around.

What case is it? My GTX280 is fairly tight in my PC7 due to my harddrives the GFX card hangs about an inch over the motherboard, I think the 260s are similar in size.

A 260 will deffo fit in a 110 as its E-ATX.

cool, and because the cooler is so damn massively long, i can fit my Xonar DX in the slot right next to it
