Hi, I have a 350w power supply, currently running an 8600gt (yeah, I know) and I want to replace it with a 7750, because it's the fastest card that doesn't require a 6-pin connector, plus my monitor resolution isn't big, 1280x1024. Anyway, I can't decide between the sapphire version or the overclocked gigabyte version. Obviously performance wise the gigabyte version would have a small edge over the sapp card, but will it consume a lot more power? Thank you in advance.
PS: If it's so important, the rest of my rig is G530 with 4 gigs o' ram.
 
Yes, a small performance increase. Small power consumption increase, too. Probable 3w or less higher than a normal 7750 with default clocks, not something that you should be worry about. Since your PSU is powering a 8600gt well, it should power a HD7750 without any problems, unless that 7750 is a HIS IceQX one ( His's ICEQ X 7750 uses HD7770's board design, therefor consumes more power than other 7750 cards ).
