Hello everybody. I am buying new GPU and I have PSU 500W that comes with case...it is not enough, but here is the problem. I really don't know anything about PSU-s.

I would like to know if PSU-s I put here are compatibile with GPU-s. I have no idea what pin connectors are and things like that.

I want to buy GTX 750. One of these three (btw if you know which one is the best, feel free to tell me)
- Gigabyte http://www.olx.ba/artikal/14800125/gtx750-gigabyte-oc-1gb-ddr5-novo/
- Asus http://www.olx.ba/artikal/13106129/geforce-gtx750-asus-oc-1gb-ddr5-novo/
- MSI http://www.olx.ba/artikal/17098556/vga-geforce-gtx750-msi-oc-1gb-ddr5/

I wonder if any of these are compatibile with these two PSU-s that I am aiming for.
- Silverstone http://www.genelec.ba/napojna-jedinica-atx-silverstone-sst-st50f-es-230v-500w-p2
- Chieftec http://www.olx.ba/artikal/17098899/napajanje-500w-chieftec-gps-500a8/

Thank you in advance :)

I dont get it you have 500w PSU that came with your case and now you are buying new 500w PSU ?

System with GTX 750 needs 300w PSU with 18 amps on 12v rail.

Is this site that sells used parts ?

Edit: tried finding PSU for you but when i clicked for only new parts there where offers with Amatuer pics which clearly were not new. So try to find better PSU. Here is the list of PSUs sorted by tiers higher the better http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

try finding somethign 300w or above in tier 1 or 2 for your budget

Thank you for answers guys. I am a student and I am really tight on budget. 50 euros (60$) is all I can spend really.
PSU that came with the case is some generic crap. Chieftec one is budget psu, 500W and platinum 80+ certificate. I also know that GTX 750 is not a big spender, so I think it will be alright.
What I don't really get is, if these two are compatibile. I have no idea what is 18 amps or 12 v rail :D

And that site also sells new stuff. I only posted link for new stuff.

But silverstone one is 80+ bronze...I thought platinum is way better?

EDIT: I found out that silverstone one is TIER 3 on that list. (Silverstone Strider Essential 400w 500w 600w High Power / Sirfa )
Can somebody check it for me and tell me it is the one from link. I am not sure. If it is, will buy it :)

I guess that solves it :D
Thank you for your time and help. I thought silverstone is better budget PSU, but got little bit lost with all these 80+, bronze, silver etc etc.
I hope it will be enough for gtx 750
