Well, if I remember correctly you wanted a higher end GPU....

Expensive yes, but it's a good one.
This is another good one

Since his current link is busted, the card he had linked earlier was the Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti 1GB.

Like others said in your first post, you could *try* that card on your PSU, but you're much much better off buying a better quality PSU, HEC isn't really known for being one of the Quality PSU suppliers.

If you are going to look at a PSU what is your price range?

Ah I see it now. I have a little bit of experience with HEC myself. I know it varies from model to model, but they at least went through the trouble to put a lot of heatsinks in there and stuff.

To the OP:

If you're going to look at a new PSU (which I might highly recommend you do since your current system with a GTX 560 Ti is looking to draw around 346W, which wouldn't be so bad if you had a decent PSU, but I can't seem to find any reviews on that HEC model so I'd have to assume it's like the rest.)

Might I suggest looking at an Antec Neo Eco 500W or a Corsair CX500 V2. Both are around $60 with shipping and everything, and will offer plenty of power for your system with a GTX 560 Ti, even if you decide to overclock your GPU and your CPU a decent bit as well.

Is there a reason you needed a second thread?
