Hi
I've been on the phone to various companies about upgrading my graphics card, and none can give me an accurate response because I'm under the manufacturer's recommended amount of power.
I have a 300W PSU, an Intel Core i5 3450 and 8GB RAM. My PSU, although only 300W, has excellent reviews and here's an image of the sticker for the amps and stuff: http://prntscr.com/4ilniq
The card I'm looking at is the MSI GTX 750 Ti. NVIDIA say 300W is the minimum, but MSI say 400W is recommended. Here's the card: http://uk.msi.com/product/vga/N750Ti_TF_2GD5OC.html#hero-overview
I currently have a card that uses 50W, so this card only uses 10W more.
I was told that 'in theory', I could run it. But I'm scared in case I damage my machine. Do you think I'm good to go?
