if so a 850 watt SPU for that price along with only having 2 six pin power connections screams CHEAP!

cheap= bad.

i am sure it will suffice powering a GTX 670 since they only draw 164 watts but please consider a better quality PSU in the near future. it would suck to have a $50 PSU take out a $400 card.

^Support. You'll be fine, but stick to reputable brands.

yeah it is that one had it for a year now done me well but like you say maybe im due a upgrade on that lol can u think of one i could get not breaking the bank tho and ok for a good overclock? do i need a high watt psu or a 650 watt be ok?

 

[Guest]

a quality 650 watts will be more than enough. if money is tight you can get away with a 600 watts PSU. really a 550 would be fine but could limit your options down the road.
Silverstone Strider Essential ST60F-ES 600W $59.70 <--- cheapest i'd recommend.
