This card seems reasonably priced, but before i purchase it i will like to know if the card is compatible with my setup ASUS AMD A-10 6700, Win 10.

I've read quite a few posts about various cards with the a-10 on here, but nothing with this card.

There's still some doubt about the exact PSU, either 300 or 350W. In either situation, the PSU is likely to lack the PCIe connector you need to power that GPU. In addition, with a TDP of around 120W the R9 370 is close to the limit of what a 300W PSU can handle. The most powerful GPU without a requirement for PCI-e power is the NVidia 750ti.
It all depends on the PSU and the presence of PCIe 6 or 6+2 pin power connectors for that GPU.

If you have a 300W PSU, as many of those systems do, you will not be able to run that GPU safely. 300W is not enough power.

Can you tell us exactly which model for the ASUS system you have so we can check what PSU it has?

I'd like to find a card that's actually worth putting into it as i plan on having this pc for another year before i upgrade so its worth it to me to drop $200 or so on a card if i can get a worthy performance boost out of it. So any reccomendations would be welcome if this card wont run on my system. Thanks :)
