Hi guys.
After a bit of advice from people with experience. I've upgrade to a new GPU and that leaves me with a GTX 770 unused. I would gladly stick it into my GFs PC, but the issue I've got is the supply she's running. She has a 520W Antec 520 High Current gamer that served her well for the last few years.
Nvidia advise to use 600W supply and I appreciate that they probably have the poor quality units in mind, but 520 with a few years of wear may be a bit on the weak side, won't it? The GPU will not be overclocked any more than the factory overclock, the CPU she's running is Intel 8400 with no overclock. The GPU would not be taxed heavily as she does not play anything else besides WoW these days.
So in your opinion, can I safely run 770 GTX of that PSU or shall I look for an alternative solution?
Thanks for any input.
