Hi - realhardtech suggests 500w fir a sys with one 560ti.
You do have a few more fans than the average rig, but they
use very little power. So, a quality 500w unit will do, but i'd
suggest 550w - 650w for headroom & possible OC.

You really only need a quality 450W PSU if you're only using a single GPU.
Note: This is a furmark test so this is exemplifies the worst case scenario.

The whole system is pulling about 350W total, and keep in mind that this test rig has an i7 920, which sucks way more power than a 2500K.

So you could get away w/ a quality 450W PSU if you don't plan to SLI.
