Hey Forum,

I'm looking to add a GTX 560 which I've found cheaply to a system which I threw together for my girlfriend out of spare parts.
I'm concerned that I may not have enough running in the PSU.
She mainly only plays Minecraft and the Sims 4.

System:
CPU: Pentium G2030
MoBo: GA-H77M-D3H
16GB of Generic RAM
HDD: WD Blue 1 TB
PSU: Seasonic S12-430
With two fans.

I have molex to 6-pin connectors for the extra power connections it requires.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Alright, then you want to start with a GPU, GTX 750TI is a good option for the PSU she has now, after that she/you wants to look into a new CPU, like a i3 for budget gaming.

Well, the GTX 750 TI dont only need a 300W PSU while the GTX 560 need a 450PSU.
The GTX 560 is better at performance.

So since youre short on power, but since the games dont require too much of GPU power i think the GTX 750 TI would be a good choice.

What GPU do the system already have btw?

That's true. I've kept my eyes open. Sadly in Australia we don't have a great market for previous generations.

I agree with you on the 750ti. Those things run on nothing. They're fantastic.
