Good day. A while back I my psu failed and i had it replaced. I was really low on cash so i went with a cheap 700 watt psu from X-tech. now its been about 6 months and my pc works fine. Temperatures within 40 - 45 degrees and no crashing / freezing. However my pc is fairly low end and i mostly use it for web browsing. I wan to install a low end graphics card so that i can play some low spec games ( I'm not trying to play modern games or max out anything). The graphics card is a gt 430 that requires 300 watts to work. Would i be able to install this card safely into my pc. If not what then can someone recommend a good psu to buy that has at least 600 watts but not extremely expensive. perhaps within a us $ 100 - 150 price range? thank you.

Your psu should handle it. But I recommend a high quality one anyway. My favorite and one of the best on the market is Super Flower Leadex 650 W. It is quiet, very efficient, best quality build and parts andhave modular cables.
