Hey everybody , i know this question may have been asked heaps but i couldnt find any similar to mine, built a new computer couple months ago graphics card died just ordered a new one waiting for it to come it is a gigabyte gtx 760 4gb oc but my concern is will the psu run it i have a thunder 500w (was not my choice but only decent one in stock) not crap one that comes with case , but thinking maybe a i should order maybe a 750w bronze evga ? Kind of worried as someone told me it wont runand i really need it to run atm to finish my work also have a thermal take 700w litepower gaming black edition laying around
My rig is
17-4770k
gigabyte z87-D3HP
G.akill ares 8gb kit
Also adding:
128gb samsung 850 pro ssd
1tb black caviar

Really need any sort of answer asap thanks heaps in advance
 
Thunder is a budget PSU and not suitable for gaming purposes, especially with high power cards, which is exactly what the GTX 760 is, a 170W TDP card, and I'd not risk damaging it for a $40 PSU. Upgrading is recommended, TT litepower is same quality. EVGA 750W is much better quality with more headroom, but currently even a decent 550W XFX or 520W SeaSonic will suffice, both wattage and quality wise.

Yeah i never wanted it but literally the only one they had in stock you knoe how computer shops are you order something online they tell u its ready for pick up u go in its not in stock but heres a piece of crap for double the price , i just ordered the supernova 750w i gurantee u they will say there out of stock once they make me go there and have to take a day off work , this tower alone has cost me just short if not more now $2000 not running how it is auppose to so as soon as get my card and new psu gonna strip it down to the last bolt and re-do it maybe raid 3 set up not to sure yet
