Asus Engtx4602di/1gd5 Geforce Gtx460 Cuda 1gb Gddr5 Ctlr Engtx460 Directcu/2di/1gd5 Pci 2.0 (engtx4602di-1gd5)

I have purchased from this company before, and they are decent. I haven't had to deal with their customer service yet (3 orders).

Unless you are set on newegg.com.

It would help to know the rest of your system specs to make a judgement on the PSU, but 850 will probably be plenty, depending on the mfg.

I'm not set on newegg, that's just where I automatically go for most everything. I'll take a look.

Sorry forgot about the rest of the system.

Saw it in a side link, Asus Engtx460top/2di/1g Geforce Gtx460 Cuda 1gb Gddr5

The one I linked is the black covered card. I'm not sure what the difference is, except price...

Oh, I looked, I think it's overclocking... save yourself $15 bucks and do it yourself

Your 850 should be fine with one card, probably with two as well if you are going that route.

I thought it was, I was under the impression that the blue one had higher overclocking ability.

With two 460's it would be fine, that's what you mean right? Cause with two 480's I dono about that.

I come up with about 700W for your system, with two 460's, so I would recommend to you an 800-850 power supply to handle upgrades in the future. You probably would be fine with two 480's, but you won't be able to squeeze much more into that case.

I dono, it's a lot bigger than my old case, they were able to fit 3 5000 series Radeon cards in it.

LiquidSnak said:

Sorry, by "case" I mean system. It's what we refer to them as, since the case and power supply are often lumped together as a unit.

Ah k, that makes more sense now. I should have just gone for the 1200 but that seems like a bit much, since the old one I was using was 1000.

With this November sale going on I think I might wait to see if they have any GPU promo's. Still have not decided on one and the 460 is not in stock.

Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-1373-AR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked EE 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

If you aren't set on that brand, either, EVGA has a lifetime warranty

I like EVGA fine, I'll probably end up getting an EVGA motherboard in the future, if not ASUS.

Those are a good alternative, one thing I liked about the Asus one was the heatsink & fan. On the EVGA card it seems much smaller.
