2GB?

Perhaps the OP is on a budget, or already has 2x1GB, or both.

The most important question they should answer is what is the make and model of their PSU?

ExecutorKevin said:
Oh yes will 18A on a single 12v rail be able to power it ?

ExecutorKevin · 16 Jul 2011 at 00:19

Oh yes, I didn't have quite enough for the 4gb in my bank account

It was a arctic freezer/power if I recall correctly, 500W.

Surveyor · 16 Jul 2011 at 00:40

If it's the Arctic Power 500W that I can find details of then it would seem you were correct about 18A on the 12V rail. That's 216W.

Virtually everything in your PC runs off the 12V rail.

The GTX 460 is around 150W when under full load so that only leaves 66W for the rest of your system.

I would say you're going to struggle.

Where can I get a cheap psu that will power all my things, I've already ordered it

What's the specification of the rest of your PC?

Jony27 · 16 Jul 2011 at 01:12

corsair cx430 or if you can stretch to the be quiet 530w it would be better

Surveyor · 16 Jul 2011 at 01:18

You can always try it with your existing PSU and see how you get on then look into a new PSU if it isn't enough.

Realistically I'd say you need something like this as a minimum:

Lepa W-Series 450W '80 Plus' Power Supply

30A on the 12V rail compared to the Corsair's 28A

It also has the 2 PCI-E power connectors you need for the GTX 460 compared to the Corsair's 1.

There are a few other PSU's to consider up to the £50 mark.
