Hello guys, I've been looking into some Graphics Card for this game I wanted to improve FPS on (Combat Arms) and I've found one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... But I was wondering, can my 300w PSU handle it? I don't know how many watts your PSU should even be for this GPU.

And just in case you wanted to know . . .
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 235e Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: MCP61PM-GM

More about : 300w psu handle 7750

Look inside the case at the PSU sticker, what is the amp reading under the +12v rail?

If it's above 16A then it should run, though it's not the safest option

If it's below 16A, then you'd need a new PSU, this option may be worth considering

AZ123,

No it will not.

You will need atleast a 400 watt PSU. I would get a quality 500w psu and call it a day.

BLEH, I'm not sure. I saw this . . . 14.0A(ORG), 16.0A(RED), and 8.0A. I won't also won't be able to afford it since rebate takes a while. Is there a really nice Graphics Card that can go on my computer? Thanks.

Is there more than one reading under the +12v? could you post a picture of the sticker instead

And with your system the 7750 would be your best choice but it would be pushing your current PSU a bit

Something like this

Ah you'd be cutting it pretty close with a 7750

Safest and best option would probably be saving up for the PSU and 7770

Probably a low profile 7750, not the safest option but it should work
