SG05 300w psu......?

[Bradmax57]

Would the psu that comes with the Sugo SG05 be powerfull enough for a 1gb 460gtx?

eek and your cpu is?
at 160w for the 460 and then at least 110w for the cpu (regardless of what it is) you will be on the edge put it that way!

a 400/450W PSU would be a wise decision or get something like a 8800gt that uses less power but still has some grunt.

5770 is the most powerful card I'd consider using with that PSU tbh.

You would probably just about get away with it, but your best bet would be to get the Silverstone Strider ST45SF 450w just to make sure. I recently fitted one to mine in preparation for a 460 1gb.

Cheers thought it would be a bit close for comfort, rest of spec in sig, with the exception the mobo would change to a gigabyte h55 usb3 job and 8gb to 4gb.

Did you put a H50 in your case?

Yes. You need to remove the hdd cage and it limits the length of the GFX card to around 8.5", but it does fit

A 1gb 460 gtx reference clocked card draws 170 watts,most of the available cards are also overclocked pushing their power draw to ~200 watts.

From individual card reviews i think both 5770 & 460 both pull well into 200w when under heavy load.
I run a 5770, a core2 oc 4gb ram and a ssd and the psu does get warm with games. I would consider the 450w psu just to be safe and prolly mor efficient.

All the stuff in my sig is running from the 300W PSU.

I did buy the ST45SF but i've decided to hold off until I do my ATI 6 series/Sandy Bridge upgrade as everything seems fine.

a 5770 pulls around 110w max at full load.

Ah right wasnt aware of the removal of the hdd cage, that kinda rules out that idea then....
