Hey guys. in a bit of a dilemma and i'm not that computer savvy

so my friend is selling his 7850 for really cheap and i was thinking of buying it (my current graphics card is a 7570)

my problem is that i'm not sure whether my PC can handle it or not
460w PSU: http://allpcpower.com/pca246.aspx
i'll put in a picture of it

so if i can get some help that would be greatly, greatly appreciated =D

thanks!

Yes, your PSU has 30 +12v amps(360w/12), a sys with a 7850 requires 21 or more +12v amps.
I don't know if that PSU has the pcie connector you will need, but since it has enough power,
you can use a molex to pcie adapter. The GPU will likely include one.

Hi - The GPU will most likely include one - they usually do. If not, then just go to the shop.
