So my buddy's upgrading his girls computer & the card in it atm is a galaxy gt 220, we're looking at the new 750ti but I'm not 100% sure the old psu is up to it.
The computer's an old pos hp with some, I guess, shitty psu in it (bestec? I imagine that name is somewhat ironic) that's rated at 300w and 19amps on the 12v, the 750ti's only 2w more than the gt220 so I guess that'll be ok even tho the newegg page calls for a 400w psu, but it also says 20amps and that's what I'm unsure about (or are they just covering their ass like the wattage?).
I don't think he has the funds to get a better psu atm also so, safe to proceed or no?
