I have just recieved parts to my PC build including a 600w corsair psu. Only problem is without my GPU (Gigabyte GTX 780 450w) my build uses up to 200w. so does this mean with my GPU, i would be using 650w?

i just need to know if the GTX 780 450w uses 450w or if it means something else because 450w just for the gpu sounds absolutely ridiculous.

please help asap as the rest of my build arrives in the next few days and i dunno what to do.

thank you

With no OCing (both CPU and GPU), yes.

Prit was pretty clear in stating what I meant. Its not about wattage, but rather quality that you'd want from all the components, especially the power supply. I can say with certainity that a SeaSonic S12 620W will handle this build with ease, even with serious OCing, but can't say the same for CX 600W.
