Am i going to need a new PSU?

[Deleted]

I'm currently running a gtx460 gfx card, i7-860 processor, 8gb corsair vengeance RAM, a SSD and HDD and several case fans on a 550W PSU. No overclocking. It seems to be fine at the moment, but I'm considering upgrading my graphics card to deal with Battlefield 3. I'm looking at either a 560ti or 570, but I'm worried that my PSU is going to start struggling. Can anyone tell me whether I will need a new one, and what power I should go for?

Need to know the make / model of your power supply. Wattage isn't the only factor.

Should be fine with the 560Ti but the 570 will push it.

14A and 15A on the two separate 12V rails could be pushing it to be honest.

You also only have a single 6 pin PCI-E connector with that powersupply which means you're going to have to use the supplied 2x4pin to 6Pin adapter to get the 2nd connector. I'm assuming you have to do this already with your 460. Based on that alone I wouldn't push it.

Thanks for the advice, I guess i'll start looking for a new one then.

Corsair TX650W 80+ Cert for 84.99 at Newegg. Great brand / quality with a Corsair PSU.
