corsair TX600w and the gtx 780 ti classified

[vexium111]

hey i just bought the evga gtx 780 ti classified but i don't think my psu has the correct connectors for it. i was looking at the corsair TX600w and was wondering if that is capable of handling it; if not, can you suggest a cheap psu that could handle it? thanks

Well, top of the line gpu + crappy psu=

Spoiler

EDIT: I read CX 600w not TX 600w, sorry...

Do not do it period notice the box for the 780 asks for 650 watts your already asking more than it has. It also asks for a lot on the 12v rail you should really get something slightly overrated 750 800.

Corsair doesn't make a TX600 they have a TX650 which would be just fine for a single 780 ti. If you have the CX600 it will be ok for a while as the capacitors on the CX series has longevity issues especially when it gets hot.

i've been looking at the this Antec HCG-750 High Current Gamer 750W Power Supply and it looks sufficient. it says it has four gold-plated 8 (6+2)-pin PCI-E connectors for multiple-graphics card configurations. do you think this would be adequate to run the card?

Depends on the price. 750w is more than enough for 1 card but not quite enough for 2.
For a single card here's some good choices
