Would I be good on power if I were to upgrade to a 560 TI on my 500CX?
The rated wattage for the CX is 500w but in reality it's closer to 450w and the amperage on the +12v is 34A.
The GTX 560 Ti calls for 450w (some say 500 but these tend to have more fans and are OC'd) and 30a... could I do this safely or should I cough up the extra for a PSU now.
If I don't have to upgrade my PSU now I will be doing so this holiday season, regardless.
