What PSU?

[Merak]

Hi

i currently have following system:

Intel Core I7 2600k 3.4 ghz
Radeon HD 6450 1gb
8 gb of RAM
1000 gb Hard Drive
Asrock z68 extreme3 gen3 Mainboard
400w PSU from BeQuiet

Im planning to replace the GPU with a gtx 760 or 770 in the future, but i am not sure what PSU i would need. What would you recommend for each card? (It shouldn´t cost more than 100€ though)

Thanks in advance

A Corsair RM650 should be fine for your needs, possibly even a 500 watt but no lower.

Going by parts picker with the gtx 770 you will be roughly 419W so I'd go with a wraithguards RM650 as a good choice

And 500 watt would be sufficient for the 760?

Agreed a 550W for a GTX760 and a 650W for a GTX770 would be comfortably excessive although i'm sure the one below would run them fine if it's a quality PSU like the RM, however it's nice to have some headroom. I'd get a 650 just so you know it will happily run any single GPU card you ever put in it for the sake of ~£10 difference. The RM650 is also what I would go for.
