[QUOTE="garrettpf, post: 5744245, member: 575445"] 500w PSU is pushing it. Do some research as I did and you will find out you are about maxed out on 500w. Keep in mind that your PSU has to power the GPU, MB, CPU, Memory, HD, optical drives and fans. I purchased an extra PSU that goes in a bay slot. It powers my GTX280 only. Or just upgrade to a 700w PSU and you should be fine. your GTX285 should be more efficient then the GTX280 though. The 500w u have now will work. But one day when you turn on your computer and it shuts off after 3 seconds or turns on but doesn't boot, don't say I didn't warn you [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
