So here's the deal.

In March 2015, I was going to buy a PS4, my friend showed me how much better the PC gaming is, and I want to become a PC gamer, I've had Steam since 2012, and played Minecraft in 2011 so I know it's good for starters.

I want to play GTA V mainly, however I need a cheap video-card. I was going to save up the $400 and custom-build my entire rig, however it's been about 7 months since I've actually video-gamed, and GTA V was one of my favorites.

So I thought about it, and watched this video where someone put a 750 Ti into the brand of my pre-built Gateway office computer, and played GTA V on it pretty well!

I'm not sure if the 750 Ti will be able to play though in a 300W PSU without exploding, I do not plan on overclocking, just want to play my favorite game, and start leveling up again and playing with some of my new PC friends.

So here's my PSU model, I am new to building PCs and such so I think this would work.

PSU MODEL: FSP GROUP INC. FSP300-60THA(1)
AC INPUT: 100-127/220-240V~7/3.5A/60/60HZ.
DC OUTPIT: 300W (+3.3V & 5V = 130W Max)

Thank you all for replying and reading, I will be checking on this alot to give you guys replies really fast.

TL;DR = Can I put 750 Ti in my 300W PC?
 
Solution
Considering your PSU has 22 amps on the 12V rails, than it should power the GTX 750ti without issues, considering the power consumption of this card is around 60W, requiering atleast 18 amps on the 12V rail.

Alright, thank you so much.
 


From personal experience , I've seen a Gigabyte GTX 750Ti WF OC running on a 300W power supply , having 18 amps on the 12V rail. Also the card needed external power from a 6 pin power connector.
400W it's recommended , but you can get away with a great quality 300W unit.
