A new psu or the current one

DroneX7 · Sep 17, 2016

Friends anybody help me .

Here is my pc configuation

Intel Core i3 4150 3.5GHz 4th Gen Processor

8GB DDR3 RAM (ZION 4GB+CORSAIR 4GB)

WD 1 TB HDD

GIGABYTE H81M-S GA1150 MOTHERBOARD

ZOTAC NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 730 4GB DDR3 LOW PROFILE GPU

ANTEC 350W BP350S PSU

LG MDISC SUPER MULTI CD DVD DRIVE

1.i am thinking about buying a ZOTAC NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 750 TI 2GB GDDR5 because its in my budget and is a good gpu.

I have seen that the recommended wattage is 400w but my psu only has 350w. Should i upgrade?
My old INTEX 400W psu which is about 5 years old and was kept during the upgrade of my old pc exploded recently and i had to upgrade it. I called my local technician and he installed this psu for 2200 rs. .

Its just 1 month old so i want to know should i upgrade the psu or stick with it.

2.Gtx 750 ti is PCI 3.0 and my mobo has PCI 2.0 will it work?

3.Another issue is that the 750 Ti has a Mini hdmi slot .... i have a hdmi cable which i use to connect my current gpu to my 32 hdtv.
It runs at 1920x1080 resolution .

As it requires a mini hdmi can i just buy a connector?
A mini hdmi-hdmi connector.
I have seen it in a website .

With that i just have to connect the hdmi cable from tv to this connector and plug it into the gpu.

Will it work?

I think the brand was Classytek.
I found it in Amazon.in

Here is the link :

Can i use it or is buying a hdmi to mini hdmi cable necessary.
I didnt find any verified cables thats why i chose this.
Most mini hdmi-hdmi cables are for cameras and consoles. I never saw any cable for computer...

Pls help me.

Answers follow:
1) I would think you'd be fine with the 350W PSU to run a GTX750Ti in your system
2) PCIe is backward compatible so there should be no problems running a PCIe 3.0 card in PCIe 2.0 slots
3) Are you sure about the mini-HDMI? That seems quite unusual, could you provide us a link to the specific card? (I've not encountered that) It's not a big problem as an adapter should work.
Hope it helps...

C12Friedman :

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Here is the link to that gpu :

The specs show hdmi but in zotac's website its different .

Here is the link to zotac's website :

https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/gtx-750-ti-2gb#spec

In one of the pictures of this gpu in Amazon.in i saw that there was a much smaller hdmi port . I searched and found out that its a mini hdmi port.

I also have one thing to ask

How is Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti StormX Dual

Amazon.in Link :

http://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B01B89RHCA/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1474209291&sr=8-12&pi=AC_SX118_SY170_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=gtx+750+ti

Palit Website Link :

http://www.palit.com/palit/vgapro.php?id=2252&lang=en&pn=NE5X75TTHD41-1076F&tab=sp

I am asking because it fits my requirements

300W Wattage and has a HDMI Port and is almost below 10000rs.

While having to use an adapter shouldn't be a "deal breaker", I'd be inclined to consider the Palit card, if for no other reason than simplification. There should be no performance differences between the two GTX750Ti's (one just would require an adapter).
