My friend has this following conf

Intel i7 950 @ 4.2, H70 Water Cooling, UD3, 3x2GB DDR3, 4 TB [4x1TB], GTX 295, CM Silent Pro 600w.

Someway he sold his GTX 295 in order to get a GTX 570.

Now my query is, IS THIS SMPS will Work Fine ???

I have used this SMPS Wattage Calculator
Newegg.com - Recommended Power Supply Calculator.

As the specs says GTX 570 requires a 500w min & i hope his 600w doesn't requires any upgradations.

I can't trust CM600w, thats why I doubt ?

Guys any comment on this ??????

should work without any problem. CM PSU aren't of same quality & build of some of its competitors but will handle easily.
