So I recently bought a new budget gaming computer off tigerdirect (heres a link: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2546170&pagenumber=10&RSort=1&csid=ITD&recordsPerPage=5&body=REVIEWS#CustomerReviewsBlock) And although everything is working fine on it, I quickly discovered that I wanted to upgrade the GPU to play some higher end games with no issues. I had a friend recommend this graphics card and so I ordered it. EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock. Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IDG3IDO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It hasn't arrived yet, but I've started wondering if my current PCU will support it. I have a TurboLink ATX-TL500W-BK 12V. The card says it only requires 300W to run, but from what I've read thats not the only thing to consider when buying a new card. Also, if its even remotely close, I'd just assume upgrading to 750W or so to be safe. I'm pretty new to this stuff so any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks
Will my current PCU support my new graphics card?

Your current PSU is garbage to the point you run the risk of damaging other parts of the system. A good 350w PSU would be plenty for the system. Something from Seasonic, Antec, XFX or corsair(AX, HX, TX). If you are thinking of future upgrades I'd probably go with a good 550w unit like the 550w XFX
