What are your other system specs?

edit: NVidia recommends a 600W PSU or higher to run a GTX480. As your PSU meets this spec you should be absolutely fine. However, if you intend to massively overclock your CPU and GPU this PSU might limit ultimate speeds.

My lad has got a i3 540 @4.0Ghz, 4GB 1600Mhz RAM, 2x Samsung 500GB F3's and currently running 8800 GTX. I will step the i3 up to i5 760 at some point too so that will need to be taken into consideration.
 
DPD had best not be late with mine, estimate between 3 and 4pm and post room here at work shuts at 4.15! If it hasn't arrived by 4 I'm gonna start getting very nervous!
 
Well, DPD said they'd deliver between 2.15 and 3.15, the delivery guy knocked on the door just as my pc clock switched to 2.15 bang on....... Freaky.

Nice, Asus give you a SLI bridge too, now to bunk off work for the aft to have a play with it....

Tom's conducted this test to show the consumption of s GTX480. Alongside an i7-980X processor based system max power consumption was 450W, with 360W being the average whilst gaming. As the 980X processor consumes quite a bit more power than an i3/i5, your 600W PSU should be more than sufficient.

Not really. Whenever the DPD guy round my area gets here early I always see him park up and simply waits until the start of the given 1hr window. I suppose I could go out there and get it off him early but if he can't be bothered to come over early then I'm not going to go out there and do his job for him either, especially if it's raining :D
 
What the hey, built my new i7 2600k system last week and was going to hold off for a new gfx card but just couldn't resist getting one of these. I'm hoping it'll be a nice jump up from the 4870 it replaces.
