Power supply for MSI 570?

[sticks435]

Hey guys, I just picked up the following MSI 570. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127568.

Right now I just have a Corsair HX520. I'm planning on getting a Sandy Bridge 2500K later, along with 8GB of PC-1333 ram and an SSD. I'll probably also be using my 260 as a dedicated Physx card. Is the 520 enough? If not, I was thinking this one - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139021 or the 650 watt version, since they are on special.

The Corsair HX520 should be fine for the GTX570. It might not be enough for the additional GTX260, but a dedicated Physx card isn't especially useful. Only a few games could benefit from one, and from what I saw in Mafia II, the added effects were rather minor.

Yea, I figured I'd toss it in when I wanted to play Batman: AA or Mafia 2, not leave it in the whole time.

If going to use the 260 i would upgrade for sure, a 650W would probably be fine but a 750w would leave you some more room for adding things later and not be running maxed out all the time so would be quieter/cooler. The XFX PSU's are very high quality and very well priced right now.
