PSU for gtx 460 and power to spare.

[cpals]

Looking for a decent PSU that will support a gtx 460 and enough power for future upgrades. Looking at a 1GB gtx 460 but want to get the power first and get the vid card later.

Specs;
- Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 Mobo
- Athlon II X4 635 stock
- 4GB ddr3
- Two SATA dvd/rw drives
- Two 1TB sata drives
- Few fans

I've been an Antec fan for a while and have been looking at one of those or a Corsair. I have an Antec SP-500, but it doesn't have any PCI-Express power cables and I don't want to push it to it's limits and hope that it's stable.

AMD AM3 CPU? What's the chipset on the motherboard? Unless it's Nvidia, then no SLI for you.

Oh yeah? Well that sucks. Not a huge deal since I've never done SLI before, but I figured it would be a nice way to upgrade in the future by adding another GTX 460.

I have a GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Antec provides a front end for the ubiquitous psu calculator here.

I can barely hear my Antec True Power New Blue (try to say that fast) when it runs. Fan spins, quietly.

Any of following PSUs will handle the most powerfull graphic card available nowadays or even two GTX460 in SLI.
