HD7790 On 400W PSU

equinox_12311 · Sep 23, 2013

Hello guys.
I'm looking to buy a new GPU, I'd like to buy the "HD7790" from club 3d, I have a non-branded 400W PSU, and a core 2 duo, with 4 sticks of 1gb DDR2 ram. Combo drive, a normal mother board (not those high end ones). I'd like to ask if it would run that graphics card.

PS: I use no extra external devices, only a mouse keyboard and headphones.

Thanks for reading, hope you help

If you post the specs on the side of the PSU we can get a better idea of how much ACTUAL wattage your PSU provides.

The HD 7790 isn't much of a power guzzler. The overall power demand of your pC would be hardly 300W. But again because the PSU is not a brande one it might pose problems. A faulty PSU spoils everything. These non-branded PSUs hardly delivers the rated power sometimes it can't even deliver half the rated load. So I would say go for an Antec 430W PSU along with that card. That should be okay..

Wow, I wasn't expecting such fast replies, thanks for that.
PS: I might be going for an i5 can anyone suggest a psu for it?

Provide make & model # of the PSU, or even better, a picture of the sticker on the PSU with the amount of amps for the +12v rails.

Depending on the PSU you may not even need to upgrade the PSU when installing an i5 as long as you do not overclock.

Get the Antec 600W HCP 80 plus gold

Im out of town, right now, all i know of is that there is fishnet material on the wires (all of them). And its quite bulky, does that help?

Well you can always go witha modular one and can keep as many wires as you need. You just have to shell out some extra bucks then..
