Do you think a BESTEC ATX 300 12z PSU (300W) can handle an Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 (65W max) and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 (55W)?
 
Solution
Technically, it ought to be able to run those parts, but personally I would not risk it. It isn't a -12e (those were notorious mobo killers), but I would not trust any Bestec to run computer equipment.

It's the power supply that came with the PC, it's an HP Pavilion Elite, there have been problems yet. Both the PSU and the MoBo just get slightly warm after use. I'm thinking of upgrading the Intel Core 2 Duo e4500 to a e6700, apparently both consume the same wattage.
