Re: A noticeable difference?
Thanks x88x. Even with the egg wanting to sell you a psu, clicking the link to 'find psu', it gave me some as low as 500w after saying I needed a 700w+ psu. lol
Great's comment makes more sense now that I can actually see the picture attached to it. lol

Re: A noticeable difference?
Don't overly worry about wattages. Hungry video cards need lots of ampherage, especially NVidia cards. A single GTX460 needs at least 24 amps on the +12V rail. There are plenty of kilowatt PSU's that don't have that and would choke to death on a single 460

Re: A noticeable difference?
jw, new to the amperage thing, i thought wattage was the issue, so is mine (700 watt version) good enough to handle a 560ti? (Thread jack, sorry)

Re: A noticeable difference?
Short answer? Yeah, you'll be fine.
Long answer?
..I'm really tired and Undead can explain it better than me. Check out these threads. IIRC, rails/etc are covered pretty well there.

Re: A noticeable difference?
Yeah, but he should be fine as long as the two rails are not actually isolated (they're usually not now-a-days).Originally Posted by TheGreatSatan
