hi
i am plannig to buy gtx 760 for 1080p gaming and watching 3d movies on my tv i have an old 450w psu with 16A on 12v rail i calculated power for my psu with newegg and msi power calc and it says i only need 380 watt power at peak while gtx 760 specs says to have 550+ watts of power i am realy confused should i buy a new psu and compromise with gpu?
here are my system specs
core i3 3220 (no overclocking)
kingston jetflash ddr3 1600 mhz (8 GB)
as rock h61 mobo (low power)
1 TB WD green
so do i nee a poweful psu as my system doesnt take very high power also there is no option for overclocking an i3
if i invest in a new psu i might have to wait for gpu or compromise with a cheaper one
