how much power supply should it have???

At least 600 watts. corsair makes good quality controlled 600 watt power supplies, but if you want to have a power supply for future cards i'd go with 700+.

From the 'Details' tab on EVGA's 02G-P4-2761-KR product page:"Minimum of a 500 Watt power supply.(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 30 Amps.)An available 6-pin PCI-E power connector and an available 8 pin PCI-E power connectorTotal Power Draw : 170 Watts"

If your using the 4th gen I series processors, 300 is adequate. If anything amd, 350. Mine runs nicely with a 300. Never hiccuped once

I have the "Seasonic M12II-650 BRONZE ATX 650 Power Supply Seasonic M12II-650 BRONZE ATX 650 Power Supply" and have never had any sort of trouble

depends on other hardware, graphics card, number of harddrives etc. google "psu calculator" and compute your power needs

250 watts will not cut it unless you are only trying to run the GPU (and you won't be). You need headroom. For this card, you would need at least 450 watts, but I would suggest at least 700 so as not to overtax your power supply. An overtaxed PSU will give you nothing but headaches (such as fried cpus or motherboards).

thank you all for your response. I now understand what I need, at least 8 amps power supply ...enjoy your weekend!!!! :_)

They recommend a 300w power supply, but I am running it in a HTPC with only a 250w with 2 HDD internals and a 3tb external

300W is barely enough if you use the onboard video, depending on the CPU power requirement. If you add in a separate video card, you really should go up to 450W or 500W.

I have a 700 W in my machine, so I couldn't say from experience.http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm recommends a 450 W PSU. So 500 W should be enough. :)

I recommend using something better than a 600 -.- keep in mind ur system needs power too, for the best I recommend 875w+

A power suppuy with 600 watts will be enough, make sure it has 2 pci express of 4 and 8 pins, and remember to be sure its compatible with your motherboard

Here is where I start when I want to calculate the amount needed: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp (Although it looks like it doesn't have your CPU yet.)You'll probably be fine with an 800w power supply, although you'll need to make sure the rail(s) can handle the graphics card. Also, will you be (in the future) adding another graphics card? If so, I'd say get the 1300w one and then you won't ever have to worry about it.

I think you might be pushing it with a 400W PSU. I guess it depends on the item quality. You may be just fine. Not really an answer, sorry.

for a single card they recommend a 500 watt power supply, so if your running 1 you should be fine.

If you have on a built in (on the motherboard) video card- 350 watt is fine. If you have a external gamer video card, then a bigger power supply you will need. These Antec power supplies are a VERY good choice.

Yes anything over 300W is more than enough, however i wouldn't chance it. This is probably the most unstable video card on the market. This model is notorious for blue screens after installation. Buyer Beware.

Personally, I like to have a little more than required so i would go with an 850W PSU, so to answer your question, yes this one will work fine. You could also use a 750W PSU as well though.

It depends on what else you are running in your system. I bought this with a 750 Watt power just to be safe, but if you are not running that high power usage of hardware, you should be fine.

The power needed for the CPU should also be considered. I read somewhere that MSI recommended 500 watts for a system with 1 card. Since you are overclocking the CPU?, and the GPU?, I would recommend a 850 watt PSU at a minimum just to be safe and avoid power issues. Have fun!
