A good 500W PSU should be plenty.

Nvidia says 500W

Are you planning to get two GTX 560 ti ?

oh i did not realise it gave a minimum system power outlet. thank you!

but i would still like to go on the safe side and get at least a 600 watt psu

on this graphics card in which you liked most: http://www.ebuyer.com/264511-ocz-z [...] -zs650w-uk
is there 2x 6 pin pci-e slots for my gtx 560ti as it says
· 1 x 6-pin
· 1 x 6+2-pin PCIe
i dont know if these are the same :S

and no im not planning on getting 2 graphics cards just the one.

 

[WR2]

· 1 x 6-pin & 1 x 6+2-pin PCIe power connectors work just fine as 2x 6-pin.
You can just zip-tie or tape the extra 2 pins out of the way.

sorry for going over this its just i havnt had a straight answer from anyone on these forums and you seem to be the most knowledgeable person i have spoke to so far.

Definitely compatible.
More than enough power, all the right connectors and a decent quality.

once again thank you for all your help

That's a standard ATX PSU opening on your case.
And OCZ ZT 650W is a standard ATX sized PSU. Should be no problem.


In your case the PSU will be mounted with the fan pointing down into the case.
(so the PSU letting will be upside down).

If you have more questions, etc, it's best to post them in the Forums.
It's OK to send a message and let me know you've posted, but you don't want to have to wait if I'm not around.
