So my girlfriend has a pc with a ION2 Vantec 520W.
I am looking at putting a GTX260+ in it so that I can play skyrim and dishonored.
Basically it's said that I should have at least 200Watts free for this graphics card and that
would sound about right if this PSU was really 520W but also the 260+
it seems can use up to 320watts I saw on one site.
Just wondering if it's safe to use this card with this PSU or if anyone can recommend a low budget graphics card for this PSU, though my options are limited as looking at getting one second hand for like $25.
Here is the PSU specs
AC Input
115~230V / 10A~6A / 60/50Hz
DC Output
+5V +3.3V +12V1 +12V2 -12 +5VSB
Max Output Current:
25A 25A 20A 20A 0.3A 2.5A
Max Combined:
160W 384W 18.5W Wa
Connectors
1x 20+4 pin 4x SATA 1x 8pin CPU (8-pin EPS12V) 1x PCI-E 6 pin 1x PCI-E 6+2 pin 6x 4 Pin peripheral (molex) 2x Floppy
Cooling System
13.5cm temperature-controlled silent fan
