I have a Lenovo K410 (11681DU) -exact model,
and am trying to install an EVGA Nvidia GTX 760.
The power supply for the Lenovo is 280W.
The power requirement for the GTX 760 is 500W.
I also have an E-power 450W external PSU.
My understanding is that a PCI-E x16 can potentially provide 75W to an external component, ie the GPU.
So... would my Lenovo plus my E-power add up to 500W (potentially 525W) or should I just look for a bigger main PSU. And If I should look for something bigger, would 550W be enough or should I go bigger.. (800W)
Note: I am currently running my Lenovo with a GTX 9800, and the E-Power external PSU. I originally bought the external PSU for the GTX 9800 (<-450W requirement), thus the 450 external PSU. ... 50W more... just 50.
