GTX 760 [HELP]

Mukessh · July 25, 2013

Hey guys . I'm working on a new build , Haswell based of course .

Which of these power supplies can support Haswell and power a GTX 760 ?

Corsair VS550 or Corsair CX500 ?

EDIT : I'm on a very tight budget .

cx500 would probably be fine

Both , just disable the C6 states and every PSU can power haswell.

cx500 has 38 amps on the 12 volt rail and the GTX 760 requires only 30 amps so you are good in that department. Now I dont know if the cx500 supports the low power states of haswell. I am running a cx500 and I know I have enough overhead for a GTX 760. I am running a FX-4100 though so do a bit more research and also look on the manufactures website. hope this helped...

The cx500 will work fine.
