New GPU

[Snake]

I'm planning on getting a GeForce GTX 680 soon. And I currently have a XFX 650W Power supply.

Not going to do any overclocking, by the way.

Technically (And according to Nvidia's website) it would work, but I want to be sure. Is 650W enough?

Other specs:

- i5
- Asus motherboard
- 8 GB RAM

Thanks!

You would be fine with a 500W power supply already. The recommendations on the manufacturer websites are always a buff overkill.

Anyways, the answer to your question is yes. Actually, we once stress-tested a similar PC setup at work few months
back (100% CPU and GPU usage) in the worst possible way and the setup never consumed more than 300 watts.

650W is plenty.

It's always good to have a bit of overhead but too much is a waste.

Yes you should be fine

That's a relief, guys!

Thanks for the help.
