Getting a GTX 770, need help with PSU

[Zombiedude101]

Hey folks. So, soon I'm going to be coming into a bit of money and I figured I'd spend it on purchasing a GTX 770 to replace my older 560, however I've heard that I might have issues getting it to work with the PSU I'm currently running on. The PSU in question's an EzCool Ambiance 80+ 700W PSU, and it's got a DC Output Table which reads as the following:
+3.3VDC = 25 A
+5VDC = 24A
+12V1 = 30A
+12v2 = 30 A
-12VDC = 0.3A
+5VSB = 2.5A

I'd appreciate if you could get back to me and tell me whether or not it'd work with the 770, and if not then what PSU you'd reccomend.

Why not get a 680?

+12V1 = 30A
+12v2 = 30 A

No. It won't handle the video card too well. You need at least 40A for each rail.

770 > 680

+12V1 = 30A
+12v2 = 30 A

No. It won't handle the video card too well. You need at least 40A for each rail.

So, what would you reccomend?

I'd recommend the GTX 690 :)

 

[TrippleGangsta]

GTX 560 is good.

Assuming you have a medium range CPU and not an insane amount of periphirals, then it will run - BUT as someone has already pointed out, not at what you would consider a safe level. I know someone who runs a high-end PC build on a $30 PSU and never had any problems, on the other side of the spectrum you hear about peoples PSUs blowing up...so, the question is - Do you want to live life on the edge?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139046 Something like this, at least 100$+ in range.

What CPU do you have?

 

[Skuch]

770 > 680

Theoretically yes and in some cases, yes. But for gaming, no.

i5 3570k running at default clock speed of 3.4Ghz

And in that case, assuming I was to get a hold of a new PSU, I'd probably go for this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Gam...PLUS+BRONZE+Certified+Active+PFC+Power+Supply

A 780 would run better than a 680, but a 770 is going to be comparable if not a bit worse.

Still, the 770 is cheaper than the 680, so it's not a bad choice.

 

[Skuch]

Agree. But when the prices drop, it seems silly to pay more for less.

... or get a 7970 ghz edition.

nvidia > AMD

A good power supply is worth it. Its not like a GPU or memory that will be obsolete in a short time, it just delivers electricity and that shouldn't be going up anytime soon. If anything power requirements are likely to decrease as technology improves. They aren't too expensive either. Look into a modular one, those are nice and you don't have to mess with extra cables.

 

[Zombiedude101]

Of these two, which'd be more preferable?

[posepsi]

The first one has LEDs. Of the two I would suggest getting the second.
