Hello, I was just wondering if my motherboard and computer were compatible with the following graphics card. Right now I currently have the following:

The graphics card I purchased is a geforce gtx 560 ti, and my power supply is 700w (looked inside the case). Here's a direct link of the product I bought on newegg.com:

Newegg.com - EVGA 02G-P3-1568-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card


I'm just wondering if my computer specs are compatible with the video card. I've done quite a bit of research and everything seems to be just fine, but I want to make sure so I figured I'd post here. Any help or info is appreciated, thanks!

Well the one highly important factor and detail you left out is what its the make and model of the the power supply? Just listing it as being 700w doesn't mean much as not all units are created equal.

This is what I saw on the power supply sticker:

Xion
Model No: XON - 700P12N
AC Output - 115V/230V 10.7A/6.2A 50Hz/60Hz
DC Output - +3.3V/+5V/+12V1/+12V2/-12V/+5VSB
700W
Max Combined Watt - Max Peak - 700W

Anyone have any idea? Any advice would be appreciated.

You should be shiny. Your card will eat ~30 amps @ 12v for that model IIRC, and your PSU lists 43 amps between both 12v rails.

Awesome, thanks man

30 Amps for a 560 Ti? I don't think so, try FAR less. Like less than 15A. (170W or so, 15A x 12V = 180W, 560 Ti is officially rated for 170W, though overclocked models may consume a bit more).

But either way, it should be fine on the PSU.
