I have a 400 watt psu and im wondering if it will handle a r7 260x. Also i need to connect it through a dual molex to 6 pin pci. Will this work for the radeon r7 260x?

Thanks!

I would replace that very poor power supply before you run a new card.

Tier 5 - Other than the units listed above for any of these brands, NOT RECOMMENDED. Replace ASAP if you have one.

It depends on the model of PSU. There is a big difference between a nice Corsair PSU and, say, an absolutely terrible generic one. Update with some details on the PSU, and possibly your entire part list so we can help further.

Hmm. I would definitely upgrade that Power Supply before the GPU. Diablotek is listed as a Tier 5 on the PSU Tier list. I would upgrade to a GOOD 500W power supply before doing anything :(
