PSU for GTX 285

[Verdugo]

Hi,
I need to know if my Seasonic M12 600 watts modular power supply can handle the GTX 285 'm planning to get in the near future. Any advise is appreciated. If by any chance you don't think 600 watts is enough, what should be the minimum I get ? I'm asking because when you hit the 700 watts and up there is a huge price increase. Thanks again.

That M12 is fine.

600W should be more than fine for the 285.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Yeah, you're probably going to pull about half of its capacity at worst. Plenty of headroom to go on here. Dual core systems with a single GPU need less than you'd think.

My second rig in my sig is on a 500 M12 II Seasonic...no issues at all, and it's running a GTX 285 SC.
