Recommend me a power supply for a GTX460?

These are my specs:



AMD Phenom™ II X4 processor 820 2.8 GHz, 4000 MHz FSB

6 GB DDR3

1 TB SATA Hard Disk Drive (7200 rpm)

250W Power Supply



I want to get a GTX460 but 250W wont run it so can you guys recommend me a good one to replace my 250W|||Any power supply over 450W will do. The GTX460 requires a minimum of 350W but Ive seen it fail with such low power supply. Therefore go 450W or higher. If you can afford it go fot a 650W pro series of any good brand (corsair e.g). But if you dont have the cash a cheap one will do.

Ive been running my GTX460 with a DiabloTek PHD450 $30.00 at CompUSA for the last 6 months, running games like Splinter cell conviction @ 1920x1080p no problemo!

Hope this answer your questions!.|||i dont think you would need more than a 800w so you can have plenty of power room for other cards.



Im guessing you are using the GTX460 1gb.

in this calculator I put in



High end desktop

AMD Phenom™ II X4 processor 820 2.8 GHz

6 GB DDR3

1 HDD regular SATA

1 DVD-RW/DVD+RW drive

SLI GTX 460 1gb

1 80mm fan, 2 120mm, and 1 250mm

and it came out to 492w.|||Hi mike, a gtx460 uses 270w on load http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphic… and then allow for the rest.



A quality 500w psu will be more than fine

as long as you go for a quality psu, it will have at leat 40 amps on the +12v rail (40 x 12v = 480w) and 80% effecient you will be fine.

something like a corsair, seasonic, antec etc..



also a hd5850 is cheaper, slightly faster, uses less heat and power and is quieter

no brainer really http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphic…|||As AJ said, go for a minimum 750W power supply, this way you're ready if you ever want to use Crossfire/SLI, or upgrade your system further.|||Not sure the exact wattage that the 460 requires, but I have an 750w antec earthwatts PSU, and it works great for my 280 (similar power req).
