Hello, I'm new to tinkering around with PCs and just recently I got my hand on an HP prebuilt PC and I want to try and upgrade the graphics card as soon as possible, I haven't opened the tower for the sake warranty but I'll get to it eventually, however I went to the manufacture's website and here are some of the specs they claim this PC has:
-Intel Core i7-4770
-8 GB DDR3 (1 x 8 GB)
-SATA 1 TB 7200 rpm
-DVD SATA drive
-AMD Radeon R7 240 2 GB DDR3 Graphics Card
-300 W PSU.
So, I was thinking of upgrading my graphics card to a GTX 750ti because it's in my price range, but will I need a new PSU along with it? I went to Nvidia's website and it says the minimum system power requirement is 300W and the graphics card power is 60W, am I clear to freely replace my current graphics card with the GTX 750Ti without upgrading the power suply? If so, what PSU should I get?
Thanks in advance!
