Hey guys,

I'm getting my GF a new graphics card for her birthday. Her current store bought PC is linked below as well as the card I'm getting her.

PC:

Video Card:

Will I need to upgrade her PSU as well? Or do you think it can handle the extra power draw?

Solution

It should be fine just about.

I would go for something like this instead though, IMO. Better performance and lower power usage.
