500 watt GPU with a 600 watt PSU?
I am looking at an EVGA 670 and the card is asking for a minimum of 500watts. I have a corsair CX600 power supply, but not sure if I have enough juice. In my rig is 8gigs of ram at stock speed and a 4th gen i5 4970k at 4.0ghz. Also Is the 500watt power requierment at full load? Thanks

I no that people have Corsair 750 watt PSU and they can run 2 of those cards in SLI, keep in mind that it is not going to be running at full load consuming 500 watts. From what I've heard 375 watts is what the card will run at when your playing your games if it even gets that high.
So I would say your good to go!

The 500 watt psu is a minimum system requirement, 600 watts is better still.
