Power Requirement for 4GB GTX960

[Luis Armando]

Hi!

I was wondering if I can power a 4GB GTX960 with the EVGA 500W PS (White Series)
This one: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-W1-0500-KR
I heard you need higher AMP in the PS if you´re using the 4GB Model
I´ll be using the GTX960 4GB from zotac, not the AMP Version, just the entry level 4gb graphics card. (http://www.zotac.com/en/products/graphics-cards/geforce-900-series/gtx-960/product/gtx-960/detail/geforce-gtx-960-zt-90308-10m/sort/starttime/order/DESC/amount/10.html)
I Just need to know if I will be able to power the GTX9604GB with this power supply or not. I´m not using things such as Liquid cooling or an SSD. I Just Have Basic Hardware, an I3 4160, 8GB of DDR3 1600 RAM from Kingston Hyper X Fury, a 1TB Seagate Hard Drive (7200rpm, 64MB) and 2 Case Fans. I Live in a foreign country and here it´s really hard to find good hardware stuff at a low price, luckily I found a store where they sell this EVGA PS for 47$. Sorry for my bad English. I will Apreciate if you can help me.

Yeah easily. The 960 is a 120w card. Your 500w psu is more than enough. Your whole system will probably only be using around 300w.

Why you should not buy an EVGA 400 / 430 / 500 / 600 / 500B / 600B

Safety first always... To answer your question, yes that PSU can run GTX 960 easily, but when I looked at the price... I think you should get a better one (plus a review from Moderator above).

Do not mess with PSU, it is like a hearth inside your body, if something happen to PSU it could take out every components with it.

Do you have any other options beside that PSU? Could you please list here what kind of PSU that available in your country? and their price...

One Thing I didn´t tell you is that I´m buying the GTX960 by amazon. So If you can find me a good PSU that can handle the GTX960 without struggling for maximun 70$ I´ll buy it too. I can´t spend more than 70$ on the PSU since I need to pay taxes and another 20$ for Freight to my City.
Again sorry for my bad English and I Hope you can help me again . By the way I´m from Latinamerica, I live in a small country called Paraguay just for you to know.
OBS: I need US Prices if you send me links in amazon.

I know you are really tight on budget, but I still recommend you to buy CX600M for 76$, then you'll good with GTX960.

Anyway, answering your original question, yes, EVGA 500W PS can run GTX960.
