So I was looking to buy an r7 250x which needs 95W to run and a PCI-E slot can only supply 75W,so it obviously needs an auxiliary power connector.So,can you guys please tell me if my PSU can hold it of?
Here is a pic of my PSU

Well it can but you should replace it ( PSU ) as fast as you could. However I don't recommend it

Get a gtx 750 and make sure it is a version which does not require additional power connector.

Those can run on a 300w.

Some of those require additional psu connectors that his psu might not have (most likely not have based on the picture).

OP if you have the budget for a gtx 750 ti, please make sure it is a version that does not require an additional 6pin connector from the psu.

I would honestly get a higher quality (EVGA, Corsair, ect) PSU BEFORE shelling out 150$ on a gpu. Crap psus are known to die and take parts with them, costing you MUCH more than the 40$ a decent PSU costs
