Hi, So I was stupid enough to buy a PC from Cyberpower worst decision ever made. Despite all their denials IK for a fact that they are using second hand parts in their builds. My current R7 (also a second hand part) is starting to fail so I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade to a NVIDIA 970. However the card requires 225W of power (it needs me to have an additional connection to the PSU). So I was just wondering if 350W would be enough to power both the GPU and the other components(cuz it kindda leaves 125W), or if im better off just upgrading the PSU as well. Just to let u folks know my CPU is an AMD FX-8320
P.S: If you want to know how I found out about second hand parts being used it happened when the graphics card in my PC failed and I took it into geek squad. They told me that they could try to see if they could get a new part from the manufacturer but when they looked up the serial it had already been activated. So I ended up getting a replacement from Cyberpower as they were my only option and one of the techs inadvertently admitted that the "new" part being sent to me was actually being pulled out of a returned system that had been sent back due to a faulty processor.
