Hello guys, I have decided to save up and get a MSI GTX 480 instead of getting s 460, but I need help with a PSU fully compatible with it.

My PSU atm is 600W, but only 24A, so i'm gona need something better, but what would you recommend with none SLI?

Note : Won't have much left over, but like £60-70.

It's just an unbranded model called CIT, and it's actually not 24A.

+3.3V +5V +12V1 +12V2 -12V +5VSB
28A 30A 18A 18A 0.3A 2.5A

Thank you for ur responce bud, that's quite nice resonable price.

Also will the card fit in this tower which I am using atm? I would hate to get these upgrades only for the damn thing not to fit lol.

don't want to put a dampner on things but if you'd bought yesterday would have saved 5% plus got free shipping.

10.5 inches now measure your current card but a 2nd card and SLi could be an option

just check to see it wont block any sata ports on the mobo as well

Just got home and checked. My sata ports are actually at the bottom on the MB, so that's not a problem. I checked the width, and that should be enough to fit the 480 in aswell.

I won't be going SLI at this time, but everything should be perfect to fit the card in with no problems. Now I got to wait till Wednesday for the damn bank to open, so I can transfer funds into it lol.
