Graphics Card and Power Supply

XxMcWeinerxX · May 5, 2014

I just bought my new graphics card (r7-260x OC edition). On the box it says that for a minimum system requirement I need at least a 500w power supply or higher. Unfortunately I already bought a 430w Power Supply from Corsair. I am wondering if the power supply will power this graphics card because it is the overclock edition so I assuming its gonna draw more watts than the regular r7-260x. Please help me as I really don't want to take this risk and fry something.
Thanks!

Yeah, don't take the risk. Send it back and get this one.

Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $59.99

Or if you are gonna try to OC it some more and want semi modular. This is a great buy on a very reliable PSU. XFX is made by SeaSonic so both are good.

the r7-260x requires 19amps on the 12v rail. your power supply has 32amp on its 12v rail so you will be more than fine.
