I have the following desktop -
HP Compaq dc7900 Convertible Minitower

I plan to install the following graphics card -
HIS Radeon HD 5670 512MB GDDR5

My system configuration is as follows -
Core2Duo E8400 3.00 Ghz
2GB DDR2 RAM
250 GB Seagate HDD
DVD-RW
Windows 8.1 32bit

I opened up my cabinet and saw that the PSU says 365 watt.
Will the PSU be able to run the Graphics Card?
Eagerly waiting for your reply

lite-on is cheap chineese psu but as long a its listed they are not faking it on the specs so i think is worth trying.also the 5670 as far as im concerned it drows power only from the pci express. no need for extra power.

@chris987 Thank you
The UL Number on the PSU is E132068.
I looked it up on the UL Online Certifications Database.
The Manufacturer is LITE-ON.
Will the 365 Watt PSU be able to power the HD 5670?

Thank you again
You are right. The HD 5670 only draws power from the PCI express slot.
I checked PSU wattage requirement on Newegg PSU Calculator.
I got 280 Watts.

In this case quality matter more than quantity. How well will your PSU work at near full load? I guess very poor.

I recommend swapping out the PSU for a Corsair VS450 or Corsair CX430 (Recommended), If you do this you can rest assured your computer won't blow up :).
