Is 520W enough for 780TI or 780?

AFAIK 600w is the minimum recommended for a 780Ti, it's what I currently have in my set up but I am going to step up to either an 850w (for this current set up) or 1000w PSU (for future proofing an SLI/Water cooling loop set up) when the Superflower PSU's go on offer again (hopefully). :)
 
I have a 280X with 3570K, both overclocked, on a HX520 and everything works silently without any problems, I doubt any single graphics card setup will be more than 400-450W but this is still almost 100% load on the good old S12II platform. However, it is a shame to invest £450+ in a graphics card and not to spend £80 for a decent power supply. The Super Flower Leadex Gold 650W will be more than enough for any single graphics card system and will last for quite a while as well.
 
get a new psu bro

Have you just finished work and a lot of coffee or are you speeding as 31 posts in 30ish minutes is a new record even if they are short. :confused:

Or you trying to get post count up with random short replies?

@OP, GPU needs : GeForce GTX 780ti - 42A and your PSU has 3x12v rails with a total of
54 AMPS, does not leave much for CPU and all other 12v devices.
