I am planning to get amd radeon r7 240 ddr5 for my desktop PC. The company says it need a 400watt power supply. My psu in use now is pretty crap for gaming, its an i ball XPS 252. The label says 400w though. Right now my budget is damn tight and i m looking to upgrade the psu later. I just need to know if i can run the card with the psu i have now. I don't expect it to do well , but may be it can manage somehow? I dont want to play graphic intensive games like crysis and all , but ones like need for speed ; the run. A friend of mine told me he used the same card with a 300WATT psu and did not encounter many troubles. Need some expert advice here. and thanks in advance
