GTX Titan and 1000w PSU?

[Guest]

I'm looking to upgrade my Graphics card to the GTX Titan and have noticed it has a 600W power usage.

My PSU is 1000w, As I am new to PCs I am not sure how many Whatts ther other hardware uses.

Apart from the essentials (CPU, Mobo, RAM etc.) I have 1 SSD, 1 Hard Drive, 1 Bluray Drive and 4 Fans.

Will my PSU be able to run all of these with a Titan?

A Titan doesn't use anything like 600w, thats huge. The 600w you saw probably was a Nvidia recommendation for the PSU needed to run it, not saying the card alone pulls that much, it uses 250w I believe. Total system power consumption will be higher though.

Get yourself a good 600w PSU and you are set.

The recommended power supply wattage of 600 watts is what you need to power the entire system with a Titan graphics card installed. 1000 watts is way more than you need, but nice to have.

Guru3d explains it very well and recommends a 550 watt minimum power supply.
