650Ti with CM Elite PSU...?

[Rafkoo]

My current set-up is as follows and I’m looking to get a mid-range card and an extra 4GB Ram so I can play a few games that won’t stress my exiting Intel HD3000 ... am considering the 650Ti – but will it require too much power for my PSU?

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Coolermaster Elite 330 Case With Coolermaster eXtreme Power 500W PSU
Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache
HITACHI COOLSPIN HDS5C3020ALA632 2TB Internal 3.5 SATA Hard Drive -
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Sony Optiarc AD-5260S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black)


Thanks!

That should be fine, 650 ti's use very little power.

More than enough for your system

Your system would barely make it over 300W at full load so you won't have any problems using a 500W PSU

300? More like 150

I had a 2500k with 650 ti and that's what it used while playing bf3.

Do you play with vSync or maximum FPS?

With my 2600k + 7850 OC, I top out at about 220W in games and 270W with CPU + GPU Stress tests.

Thansk everyone - I thinkt he 650Ti requires something like 120W (approx.) - so if that is fine - then happy days!

No vsync or fps cap.

I have 80 plus gold power supply though and no extra parts. Just cpu,motherboard,ram,graphics card,solid state drive and a couple of low rpm fans.
