Hi.
I have cooler master RS-550-PCAR-E3 power supply.
And i want to buy a VGA card, but i'm afraid this power supply can't provide enough power for the VGA, because someone told me something about the vga and psu issue.
The output of the PSU are:
+3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@16A, +12V2@16A, -5V@0.8A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@2.5A

I can't decide which VGA card should i buy, since i don't know anything about the VGA cards, i don't even have one, my vga is onboard.
I don't really need a very good VGA cards, i don't play games, i just need a suggestion of popular VGA cards for around $100, that is compatible with my power supply.
Thanks, sorry for my english.
 
Solution
Gotta to love that Crappymaster PSU...
Delivers LESS than 384W of usable wattage.

Some sound advise, swap that power supply at as soon as you can.

This gtx 650 does not require external power and is faster than hd 7750 in many games

Don't forget to see the benchmark at bottom of the post.

I also know that it is special edition card and does not conform to nvidia specs.
 


Precisely, try finding it at a retailer? If you want to compare NON-standard card then you need to do it both sides of the fence. An HD7750 can be overclocked a lot on that same power source, the GTX650 can not.

My point was that Nvidia does not INHERENTLY consume less power. In most segments the power to performance ratio is VERY close.

Dont believe me? Check the average on performance per watt on techpowerups latest review.
