I seriously need to upgrade my GPU I have a GT 220 currently it's been a good little GPU but it has to go so I've been looking for GPUs and the Radeon 7770 caught my eye but one little problem my PSU might not handle it I have a 350w Cooler Master PSU. And I have a AMD Phenom Quad Core 9150e

After looking at some info on the PSU I believe that you wouldn't have to upgrade in order to use the 7770 since you CPU's TDP is only 65W. I still recommend an upgrade but I don't feel it will be absolutely necessary.

If you were to find out how much power you computer draws now then it would be easier to get a definitive answer.

SOME

Coolermaster is hit or miss in quality for PSU.
That one is marginal and is able to deliver its rated power but just barely per hardware secrets.

You will need a PCI-E connector.
If it has one, it will probably work but I would recommend upgrading.
