If its the 216 core, u should be looking at 700, just 2 be safe, when it is using all of its power, i got the 260 (216) in sli, and it hogs most of my power, i thought 800 would be fine, but the gpu was giving me warnings bout insufficient power, so i upgraded to the 900, it was fine when idling with the 800psu, but when it came 2 some crysis or some benchmarks, it started choking.
If its a gud 650 one, then u should be fine, unlike the no-name brands, (i got a antec trupower, and works at a constant 900 with very very little fluctuation)
PLEASE dont give advice when you are wrong. You don't need 700W for a GTX 260. the 260 takes 182W which means 15A on the 12V line... Even my 520W psu has 40A on the 12V...If its the 216 core, u should be looking at 700, just 2 be safe, when it is using all of its power, i got the 260 (216) in sli, and it hogs most of my power, i thought 800 would be fine, but the gpu was giving me warnings bout insufficient power, so i upgraded to the 900, it was fine when idling with the 800psu, but when it came 2 some crysis or some benchmarks, it started choking.
