    I believe it requires 600+ watts of power to run (I'm using it currently).

    560Ti Product Page

    NVidia recommends at minimum a 500W power supply; however, it can vary depending on your system's total power consumption. The max power draw of a 560Ti by itself is 170 Watts. If you know what the rest of your system consumes, you can base your PSU purchasing plans by adding up the total power draw of all your components + some cushion for error.

    Error being unaccounted components, and typical PSU under-performance.

    It doesn't matter if you add a 2000W PSU to your setup, it won't draw more power just because you have a stronger PSU. The only reason people don't buy those gigantic ones is because they're expensive as hell.

    I'd recommend a TX850 from corsair, it's very reliable and energy efficient. Should last you quite a while aswell, even with new upgrades.

    If you don't have alot of money, a 500W can keep up a 560Ti. However I'd recommend 600-650 from Corsair.

    If you bought a new power supply for your 550ti, it's most likely going to be enough for 560ti as well so I wouldn't worry. If you have something old and shady at 400-500 watts range I'd buy a new one. 450 watts would be realistically the lowest you ought to buy at this point. If you have plans for SLI you'd need around 500-600 watts.

    550W would be fine, get something 80+ certified from Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, XFX, etc. just get a reliable brand and you would be fine.

    I'm running a 560ti while using a 2,5 year old Cooler Master 520W PSU, which hasn't given it any issues so far. Thought I might have to upgrade, but figured I'd take the risk and it worked out fine.

    You're on the wrong forums if that bothers you. ^^

    Overkill, big time, an 850 watt would be more than enough for SLI 560 Tis....

    @OP, get yourself a nice quality 550-650 watt power supply from one of the following brands:

    Seasonic
    Silverstone
    Corsair
    Antec
    Enermax

    Of course because no one buys it

    Nah those brands will generally be okay but really it always depends on the specific model.

    Tiered list of PSU's. I have an OCZ Fatality 750w and it does the job great and OCZ offers a great warranty I believe.
