Hello all

Well, I ordered a GTX260 and I have this PowerSupply
Can it provide the GTX enough power?
I have the system on my signature, I believe it is more than enough, but I just want to be sure

Hi Jay,

your PSU is rated at 550w with four 18a rails.

The gtx 260 requires at least 525w with at least 36amperes combined on the 12v rails.

I beleive you could power your system and the gtx 260, but you'd be just barely cutting it. If I were you, and if you dont mind upgrading, get a bigger PSU.

Otherwise, it will be enough power, but not by much..

The Odin GT is a solid design with 41A on the 12V (review). It will have no trouble with a gtx260.
