gtx580-600w

[mrsalgado76]

hi, i have a friend who is buying a cheap gaming set up, he gets a OCZ 600w power supply, is this power full enough to run a nVidia gtx 580?? also he has and i5 2.8ghz cpu, would people reccomend he gets a better psu or do you think he will be fine. Thanks guys

I would say that is plenty enough for that setup. It should be fine

Should be fine.

 

[Yaayuh!]

My OCZ modXstream Pro 750W wasn't enough due to it's split rails... Might want to check that. I would STRONGLY advise getting a single rail PSU.
Also just an FYI, if he overclocks it, they draw a lot more power.

Should be more than fine, my whole setup does not draw more than 400 watts with a 26 monitor plugged into the ups too under full load. Just make sure the rails have enough power for the 580 and there should be no problems.
