I have this computer: DX2200 upgraded RAM to 2gb and CPU to pentium d 925. I wanna upgrade my GPU now and I don't know if my psu can handle it. If a 250w psu cannot handle the GT610, then can it handle the hd 5450?

Thanks

Right man but like i said its really not a 250w PSU. say its 200W of bad quality power. say everything in your pc takes 100W (just say) +75w now thats almost maxing out your power supply. the closer to full load a power supply is the less efficient they are. and they dont like to be run at 100% Ive seen them poop the bed from kids throwing low power cards in their moms old computers to play wow. IF it was a quality psu it might be different. Sorry but unless someone else on here has a different opinion id say dont do it

i wouldn't. It sounds like is the PSU that came with the computer??? If thats the case i REALLY wouldn't. those are Chinese crap and not actually rated for what the claim. Minimum on the 610 is 300. Could probably sneak by with 250w if its a quality one but i prefer overkill on power rather than stressing one out.
