Looking to upgrade PSU to support a GEFORCE GTX 760

Steven545 · Oct 5, 2014

Here are all the current specs to my PC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883258065

My current power supply is 500w.

gtx 760 will run fine on a good 500 watt PSU but your PSU is a stock one so not good enough i would recomend xfx 550.

Currently I cant' boot my system up with my PSU when my graphics card is installed. I was suggested to try a new power supply because it seems to be the problem.

100$ or so, PSU's are cheap right?

prit87 · Oct 5, 2014

Get the PSU i have mentioned its cheap and yet very good quality one.

Steven545 · Oct 5, 2014

Quick question, what did you mean by my current PSU being a "stock" one.

Steven545 :

There cheap, but probably not as safe as a more expensive one. Seasonic is great quality, and I found one here that suits your needs at the correct wattage, here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095

By stock he means PSU's that do not have bronze certification or higher, and usally comes with pre-built PCs. Stock PSUs are cheap and not power efficient.

Steven545 :

you have a pre build system so the PSU comes with a pre build system are crappy one.

This is the PSU that came with my computer: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817494002
It says it's iron egg guaranteed, am I missing something?

No, but that PSU is definently not a quality one. Get the seasonic I suggested.

The PSU has enough wattage and AMPS to run gtx 760 but the quality of the PSU is not good at load it can give up easily.

xfx , seasonic, rosewill capstone are some good brands for PSU.
i suggested the xfx because its the cheapest among these.
