Hi,

I want to ask about if a 380w PSU (Antec EarthWatts Green Series 380W ) can handle a one gts 250, but firstly i want to say that I will not overclock, play in 720p, 1080p, etc, i will use to play some games like Call of duty 4 Modern Warfare, Assassins creed 1,2, and other not demanding games, watch videos, etc. Here my pc specs:

Monitor max resolution 1360x768 (no HD)
Amd Phenom ii x2 555 TDP 80w
x2 DDR2 1GB
HDD 120GB Sata 7200RPM
4 USB connections (Only 1 in use)
CD, DVD, Blu-ray Rom or Drives (Sorry I'm noob :lol: ) I not have any cd, dvd, blu-ray rom/drives and i will not use them.

My old pc was a netbook (Intel Atom,Integrated graphics, 1GB of ram) and i've changed it 6 months ago for the pc of above, therefore I want to say i upgrade the hardware every four or five years (In my country is very hard find pc components a good price, so i only buy on ebay), when i do it i update computer completely (motherboard, cpu, gpu, etc). If the PSU isn't sufficient please recommend a good, if is possible, but no too high cost PSU, thanks

Sorry for my english.

 
how many 6/8pin does it need?

in any case, i would not risk it personally. although, a typical rig consumes about 300-400w, that is with a decent gpu already, being a 380 that is about 100% of the capacity which i am not comfortable with.

if it;s up to me, i'd get at least a 550 or 600w psu
