Re: What happens if your PSU is too weak for the video card?

I wouldn't even plug that PSU in your computer.

Get a PSU with a large 12V rail, Corsair has great PSUs.

Is it overkill to go with the larger rail ones? I'm not running SLI and not overclocking.

These are the 4 I'm looking at. They range from $70-$120 shipped. I'll be ordering something today. I'll spend $120 if I have to, but I would rather spend $70.
