Default Will this PSU drive a GTS
Hi, since my mobo is broken I'm running on my mom's pc (she's out of town).

Currently, her setup(with a few of my parts) is this:

Asus P5K
Intel C2D 2.6GHz
2xWD Raptors in RAID0
XFI soundcard
2gb Corsair 667mhz

With this PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153023

Now, can it drive my GTS? Or am I better off poping my OCZ 850 watt?

Thanks!

(edit: wow, when I bought the PSU I didn't realize it was only 65% effecient...EEK!)

Actually, I feel really stupid that I even posted lol...

I'm plugging my 850 watt in, I don't feel safe with this thermaltake.

Nope, that 430 is more like a 350W and on top of that it can only do ~16-18A on the 12V rail. You will run into issues maxing out that PSU at full load and especially if you overclock. It is not a good idea.

well the 850 would obviously destroy the 430, but if you left everything at stock, and didnt push the system too much, the 430 would do the trick. I have a 465 doing something similar right now, and its working just great.. mind you its got an extra 10a
