Will this psu support a gtx 770

[wussking]

Hey guys, wonder if this should be in gpu section or psu.

I have a cooler master extreme power plus 600w pus. I know this is crap so the internet says, but will this be sufficient to run a gtx 770 that requires 42 amps on 12v rail? I believe it is 12v 18a which would probably be 36a right. I'm only using 2 SAta hdds, keyboard, mouse , wireless USB stick and a xbox 360 wireless controller receiver. I don't plan on over locking my CPU ( i5 2500k) or the gpu. I will probably start from scratch after 3 years with this system. Also I know it is out of the category, but would 2gb version be sufficient for 1080 p only gaming or should I get the 4gb model to support future games? Oh btw I'm trying to save money, so if I don't have to get another psu I won't. If I do what do you guys reccomend on a budget?

Thanks guys!

600w is okay but it wouldn't hurt to upgrade to like 750w?

Edit: dump the psu, don't even try it.
I see little value in 4gb vs. 2gb.

Sorry, but a little googling shows that this has 18 amps per 12v rail. I don't believe it will be sufficient for the 770.

Its a very poor power supply that doesn't deliver what's advertised.

WOW! I did not realize it was that bad.
Deleting my suggestion to try it.

you already answered your own question. Will it run maybe. But you arent even meeting the nvidia recommended amps.
Combining your 12v rails doesn't even meet the requirement.

The 770 at 1080p will run most games on ultra with 2gb. But it never hurts to get more ram on the card if you can afford it. But I would place that extra money into a better PSU. Something like

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151118 (SeaSonic 650w 80 Plus Gold +12V@54A) $89.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151132 (SeaSonic 750w 80 Plus Gold +12V@62A) $114.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139055 (Corsair 750w 80 Plus Gold +12V@62.5A) $129.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207011 (XFX 850w 80 Plus Gold +12V@70A) $109.99

Me Personally Only Buy Power Supplies from OEM's. I like companies that manage all of their own production internally.

So In all my Rigs I Exclusively Run either Enermax or SeaSonic And Over the past two years all my machines I have built or upgraded have only 80 Plus Gold or Platinum Ratings.

My Electric bill is insane monthly and Anything I can do to stay energy efficient I do. The above power supplies are efficient but that doesn't mean you couldnt find better deals with more power if you need it that aren't as efficient. The efficiency rating doesn't mean how much power your power supply can ouput into your machine, it means how much power its drawing from the wall to produce the rated @ power its suppose to do.

So for me in my situation Gold or platinum rated power supplies are worth the extra money. But the above deals are good prices currently.

A bunch of Corsair Power Supplies are made by Seasonic but the RM series of power supplies are made by the OEM Chicony.

Both Seasonic Power Supplies are made and designed by Seasonic

The XFX Power Supply is made By Seasonic.
