Do you guys think I can run it with a 600W PSU? The psu has 38 Amps.

GeForce GTX 260 Black Edition Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3
 
No a black edition requires a 630w PSU I am not sure on the amps I can't find any site that tells me but I think you would tax your PSU to much running it even 90%.

But this 260 here

System Requirements Minimum of a 500 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 36 Amp Amps.)
Two available 6-pin Molex hard drive power dongles

Long as you meet the amps you should be just fine. You could overclock it but not as far as the black edition since power would be a issue.


Personally I have seen systems where the PSU took a crap and I would rather not risk it and keep my load around 80% or so of my PSUs max just to play it safe and keep it nice and cool.
