Can my PSU handle this card?

It would probably work fine given that the PSU has enough amps on one rail for the GPU and comes with the necessary connectors. But LC power isn't a high quality brand. Are you just upgrading the graphics card? Or did you already have it before you bought the PSU? Is the PSU already in use or can it still be returned?
 
No, i have that psu for few years, it worket on heavy oc-ed i7 950 lga 1136 (?), and the gf 8800gt, with no problem..

I'll buy used gtx 570, and its a good price ...

@aaksheytalwar :

Have you read the spec of the psu, or just guessing ?

Sorry for bad english..
 
nikolaaaa I recommend against a used GTX 570. Why chance it with power hungry last gen tech? It'd be a safer bet to get a GTX 660 or a HD7850, they only consume a little over 100 watts, and you don't have to worry about the card crapping out on you without warranty to back it up. The LC Power PSU will definitely be powerful enough for either of those.

Where are you located?
 
New 7850 and 660 are 200euros here (better versions ) , and i get 570 for 120..

There is alsaw a option to buy 6870 TF II for around 100E.. Used but more than 2 years of waranty left...
 
23A * 12V = 276W
25A * 12V = 300W

However, the total output is not 576W, it's 500W like the specs page you posted says. It's unlikely the PSU can actually handle 500W continuously, it's probably a peak load.

GTX 570 will consume 200W or so, and all of that will be from one of the +12V rails. Which one, that's anybody's guess, but usually that's how it works with dual rail PSUs - PCIe connectors on one rail, CPU, motherboard, SATA and molex on the other.
 
I think it'll probably work fine, as I said in post #2. If you can get the GTX 570 for 60% of the price of a new 660 and with two years of warranty left, it's worth it.
