XPS 8500 - Upgrade to GTX680
I am looking into upgrading to GTX680 card but realize the 460W power supply may not be enough for it. If that is true, what PSU would you recommend that would fit this case in the 600-800W range? I am also looking to add two more hard drives to this case, so that has to factor into the power supply question as well. Thank you :)

Hi modrac,
The maximum graphics card power requirement of GeForce GTX 680 is 195W. It may work with the 460W XPS 8500 power supply with minimal settings. You can consider a 650W power supply if you intend to use the graphics card at the maximum settings and add two more hard drives to the existing configuration.
Please let me know if you need further information.

Yes, the COOLER MASTER GX Series RS750-ACAAD3-US 750W ATX12V v2.31 should work fine.

Thank you! What type of 650W would you recommend? I was looking at Cooler Master 750 actually, it's compatible with this comp.
