What PSU do you have?
If you dont know, a picture of the side will do.

While 500w would be plenty, I cant vouch for the quality of it.
That being said, the 750Ti can run on 300w units, so you should be just fine to add one into your system.

Thanks again Gam3r01, if i remember correctly you were the one who recommended the gtx 750 ti a while ago. I'll try to see inside my computer when possible to try and find which PSU i have.
