Power requirements GTX 285

[Will@tagg]

Hello,
I am looking for a cost effective PSU and i dont plan on OCing, though i am gettting the GTX285. The power calculter says i require 370W, so im thinking Gigabyte ODIN 470W, or 585W. However someone told me there is not enough 6pins? is my ODIN 470 fine?

Forget about the GTX285 and grab a HD5850. An 80+ 500W PSU of a quality brand will do for HD5850.

HD5750 and HD5850 are the only reasonably priced DX11 card IMO.

^+1.
HD 5850 is a much better deal.

Its power consumption is lesser than a GTX 285.
You will be fine with any quality 500W PSU as andy said!!
