Power for Video card

I have a CoolerMaster Centurian case that came with a 430 Watt power supply. Do you think it will be enough to run a EVGA 7600GS ?

can you give more info on the amperage of the unit? not all power supplys are the same... you should see on the side of the powersupply where it gives amperage for the 12,5,3.3 settings...

post that here and we can tell you =)

but from my experince... most (not all) power supplies that come with the case... are very cheap.. and make better door stops.

Unless the PSU is total junk, you should be fine.

What brand/model is the PSU?

your powersupply should have NO trouble with a 7600.

If it were an 8800 you should start thinking about another powersupply.
that 7600 should come no where near the power requirments of a high end card.
