[abuzz]

hey guyz i am about to buy a graphic card that is ASUS GRAPHICS CARD GTX 760 DC II OC EDITION but i wanted to know that can my psu can power this gpu or not?

my current specs:

i5 2500k
intel dh67bl motherboard
500gb hardisk
8gb ram
32inc lcd tv 1080p
PSU- coolermaster thunder 500w

so, my psu is coolermaster thunder500w can it power 760?

the asus 760 ONLY has 1 8pin power input. So in your case, you already have 1 8pin connector from your psu.

So you don't even need an adaptor.

As you stated, the asus website says you need 1 8pin connector (which is a 6+2pin)

To clarify, the 225W is under total power consumption; meaning your card will draw a MAX of 225W (150W from 8pin and 75w from pcie on your motherboard).

so i don't need to change my psu right?

No, your psu is fine. Buy the 760 and enjoy.
