Ok so I got a 240W PSU and the minimum requirement for it is a 300W PSU, I know this maybe a stupid question but can I still use it with only a 240W PSU? I would buy a new power supply but its hard to find the one I need, because my PC is a low profile PC, and therefore cost more and are harder to find. So i'm wondering if I could still use it. If not could someone direct me to on that's better than a ASUS GeForce 210 1GB 64-bit graphics card ( that's my current one) that I can still use for my PC (must be a low profile graphics card aswell) Thank you!
My budget is: $31.00 MAX

Even though Nvidia recommends a 300W PSU for a system with a GT 610 in it... http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-610/specifications
...I personally would have no problem running that 29W card on that small 240W OEM PSU.

You can also opt for the newer and slightly faster GT 720. It is only a 19W card. Even with that tiny power draw, Nvidia still recommends a 300W PSU. That is just their limit. They won't ever recommend a PSU smaller than 300W.

So basicly what you are saying is that it should be fine? Also your saying I should get a GT 720 instead if so then could you give me a link to a GT 720 with in my price range of 30-31 dollars (including shipping) if so that would help alot! And thanks for that answer! :D
