PSU for Acer aspire tc 220

Hobart1234 · Jun 30, 2015

Hi, my wife recently bought a Acer aspire tc 220 for me as a gift for gaming. I've since discovered that the graphics card in it (r5 235) is terrible for gaming so got a HD 7750 for some light gaming, only after that to realise it only has a 220w PSU. Can anyone recommend a good enough one for this Desktop?

You are supposed to upgrade the PSU to match the requirements of your preferred graphics card, not choose a graphics card which doesn't need a PSU upgrade.

You won't find a decent gaming card that only needs a 220w PSU anyway.

Hello Hobart1234,

I believe this is your PC model - http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/model/DT.SXREK.012

Consider this quality "Tier 2" PSU from Antec:

- The 7750 requires a quality 400W PSU that can deliver 16Amps or more on its +12V rail.
- The Antec 550W is quality PSU that can deliver 45Amps on its dual +12V rails combined, which is more than enough to power your entire current rig with the 7750 upgrade.
- It also allows you to upgrade further in future, if you wish you get a mid/high end cards like the AMD R7 370/R9 270/270X/280/280X/380 or NVIDIA GTX 960/970/980
