I want to buy a GTX 750 Ti but I'm not sure if my PSU will handle it.

My specs are;
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 850
RAM: 8,00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 401MHz (6-6-6-15)
Motherboard: PCWARE APMCP68 (CPUSocket)
Hard Drive: 932GB Seagate ST310005 24AS SCSI Disk Device (ATA)

And my PSU sticker says the following;

+5V@34A; +3.3V@28A; +12V@20A; +12V@17A; -12V@0.8A; +5VSB@2.5A

I bought a nVidia 8400 GS a while ago, but unfortuantely it malfunctioned after one year of usage.

If this PSU can not handle that video card, can someone recommend me the cheapest option then?

The brand is called "BlueCase", it's an MPV-350ATX with 350W overall.

I'd get a new one, I have never heard of BlueCase and can't find any PSU reviews done on them.

If on an extreme budget, the Corsair CX series. Not meant for high end overclocked gaming systems, but should be fine in your system. It has some cheaper capacitors in its construction, but you won't be stressing it to hard.

If you have the budget, this is a very nice, higher end PSU for $49.99
