Would think this power supply should do the trick. My system is close to the one you describe and it does fine. Will let you know there is an info message about the fan on the power supply not running at low power moments but will kick in if the unit needs more power.

Yes this will work for you. You could even use a 600 one but I personally use this one.
817081
Yes it works great for my setup and I have a AMD 8 core processor and 1. 1.5 TB and a 2 TB

It's not a classic motherboard graphics card, it is an actual dedicated system, but it's not a classic dedicated card. It is built into the CPU (new fangled tech). They generate significantly less heat, and use significantly less battery. The Nvidia counterpart is probably more powerful, but also more overheat+power usage.What you're really asking is, "will this run ____". The answer is yes. Obviously no competition for a well-built desktop, but as gaming laptops go, I've found the A8-4500 to be sufficient for smoothly running KSP, Planetside2, Gmod/HL:____/Nitronic rush, etc.I also do 3d modelling, until I dropped a screw on the motherboard, it was able to run both Inventor (solidworks), and Maya no problem.

Yup. Should do excellent. Note though, that's with the stock cooler/heatsink that doesn't cover the PCI express slot of course ;-)

I suppose it depends on what you're planning to do. I bought the Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X HD 7770 GHZ OC because I do a lot of gaming. The problem is it takes up two slots, one for the card and one for the vent, so I'm down one PCI slot. I run in mid-to-high quality on FPS games and total HQ for my simulators with the Vapor X.
1059825
Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

EVGA states the minimum power supply is 600W with a minimum 42 amps available on the 12v rail, but the minimum power supply required would depend on power demands of the rest of the system. That said, if you have a name brand 750W power supply from a reputable company, it should be fine. Please do not use a power supply that came with your case. It will not be sufficient regardless of advertised wattage rating.The most I have been able to get my system to draw from the wall during general gaming is about 500 watts, but usually the power draw is closer to 400 watts during gaming. This is with a heavily overclocked I7 and Single Titan.

From what i found from searching the desktop on amazon it will fit just fine, the card i believe is pcie 3.0 so it will be running at full potential, from what i gather the pcie slot on that board is 2.0 and the psu should be 600watt~ or higher the one i saw on the GUA 880 page says 500, i would recommend upgrading your psu before purchasing.

Absolutely. That's what it's meant for. With its high quality NIC, sound card, overclocking features, SLI/CF support, etc... it's completely designed to be used for gaming and it's been working very well for me.
1821783
I use two of these in SLI and have been running everything I play on max, even new games. You could probably do the same with just one, to be honest.

I'm running one with a Corsair 850 watt PSU, and wouldn't go any lower than that for this card and any decent kick-ass mobo, MINIMUM. If you're going to get the "good stuff", power it with a good, high quality power supply so you'll have no regrets down the road.

Yeah - I had several higher end graphics cards in it - it is somewhat snug, you'll have to manage your cables well, but I was able to get an SLI config using this case. I would suggest eventually investing in a water block setup, because the airflow is the only issue with big cards like that in this case. Unless you plan on dumping a lot of money into all of the fan slots.

I would say you will be alright. I am running a GA-78LMT-USB3 AM3 with a ASUS GTX760 GPU with no issues.

In the context of a standard PC desktop/tower build, you can get away with a 500-watt PSU if you stick to a single graphics card setup plus optical drive and hard drive, a couple of cooling fans, etc. Anything beyond that and you'll need more capacity. For example, if you're a gamer and want to run a dual-card SLI graphics card setup, that alone can chew up to 300 watts under heavy load, leaving little operating margin for other significant loads such as the main CPU, etc. On my own build, I went with a high-quality 850-watt PSU from Corsair. Although I'm only running one MSI GTX 760-based graphics card right now, I have enough power supply capacity to add another card at any time without worrying about straining, even though I'm moderately overclocking my Intel 4770K quad-core CPU (to 4.3 Ghz) and have installed a liquid cooling system and four power-efficient cooling fans. I estimate that my system draws a maximum of about 400 watts when running a game (including all my drives and peripherals). The PSU's internal cooling fan rarely kicks on, which lets me know I'm letting the PSU loaf most of the time. Keeping a PSU cool and in the middle of its rated supply capacity also helps with power efficiency. In conclusion, if you know you'll stick with a single graphics card, go with one rated at 650 watts for peace of mind. For two cards, I would go with 850 watts. I know that some people will think my recommendations are a bit of overkill, but as someone who's had to replace a couple of PSUs in the past because I tried to save a few bucks by shaving power margins, I'd rather pay a bit extra for peace of mind. Note that many hardcore gamers won't settle for anything less than a 1.2KW supply!

Yes. when power requirements show (like the videocard you have) say 600 watts minimum, it's because cheap power supplies made in someone's basement can't hold 600 watts continuously and their peak power is measured in questionable ways. This power supply will work with no issue as I have a Z87 (asus gryphon) with a PNY GTX 770 and Haswell 4670k processor. The first one crapped out on me in one day, but this second one seems to hold up well. It has never gotten hot while playing some graphically intense games. I believe the first one was just a lemon. Does that help?

I have built 3 machines now in an architectural / engineering firm all with this card primarily for Autodesk Revit rendering. It's a fantastic card. As for gaming....I can't speak to that too much, but I know it improved the rendering speeds by a substantial amount, so I bet it would be good for gaming as well. Although, with my next build, I'm planning to use the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 - it's a 4gb card, so you'll need a little more RAM in the system to account for it. If you build a system with a Raid array (especially with SSD disks), you will see dramatic results over a standard hard drive. According to Skyrim specs, this card or the GTX 770 would be great for play: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:System_Requirements

Yeah. I use it exclusively for gaming. Works pretty good. What do I play? BF3, 4, Hawken, CoDs, Crysis 2, 3 and some UT3. For something that's 20 bucks, it aint bad. If it breaks, I'll just go buy another one. I use a Logitech EX110 for work purposes. What's my game stuff? Intel i7 3770 cpu, Asus P8z77-V LK motherboard, WD 2.5 Velociraptor HDD, XFX HD7950 gpu, G.Skill 16gb 19200 ram, Corsair RM750 psu, Corsair H100i liquid cooler.

yes it is perfect for gaming. it has dual GT755m graphic cards. If you compare this to the other cards. It is %10 better then GTX770m. It means you can play BF4 with ultra settings. Just remember that all the game laptop becoming hot after playings and you should have a good cooler with this...
