[gazn1]

okay been looking at this pc from a uk retal site called very.co.uk also on littlewoods.co.uk its an acer g3-620 and i contacted them via there web chat and i asked the person what PSU does this have because it as a gtx 770 and all he could find out was he thinks its a 500w PSU surely that can't be right?

the bare minimum should be at least 600w

Nvidia and AMD overestimate the power required to account for poor quality 20 dollar 500w psus from the likes of diablotek.

A decent 500w is fine for that set up.

dont forget virtually all pc brands skip on the PSU part i remember getting my current pc everything was great apart from the shitty 500w psu so swapped it out for a corsair gs600 im just concerned in paying a load of money to have todo the same thing again

The bigger brands don't usually skip out on PSUs, I know dell for one doesn't, uses delta OEMs which are used in aftermarket PSUs quite alot, heck even my 500w antec psu is a delta model.

For a company making gaming grade PCs that are intended to be ran quite near max load at all times its just not worth it to put in a low grade PSU. The amount of failures and shipping costs would be enough to have them not make that mistake twice.

Also if this helps the system you listed uses around 300w max. 6pin + 8pin = 225 + 75w for cpu = 300 give or take 10-20w for drives/ram/etc.
