Can a FSP 250W PSU handle a RX 460 2gb and all my other components?

Shammikit · Oct 15, 2016

So im planing to upgrade my gpu to a rx 460 and my PSU. im on very low budget and i can only spend around $35 for a PSU. i contacted a local store to find out a PSU for my buudget that can handle a rx 460 and all my other components and they recommended me the FSP 250W PSU. they told me it will be able to run my entire system without any issue.Is this true?

my specs:
CPU: Core 2 quad q8400 2.6ghz
RAM: 8gb (2*4gb sticks)
Motherboard:ASROCK G41M-S3

NO! I can almost bet my life savings that you will be starved for power with a 250 watt psu, I wouldn't even suggest a 300 watt

380W is the minimum recommended for a 460 with the system added in...

There are a few options:
Seasonic 430w @ $39.99, Free Shipping:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151074

EVGA 500B, 500w @ 34.99, $2.99 shipping, Refurbished:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438032

If you can squeeze the extra 5 dollars, the Seasonic is better and new. the EVGA is a Ok unit, not one of their best, but should suit your needs. You should check other websites like Amazon, sometimes you can find a little lower price.

If you sign up for Neweggs email newsletter, you can try promo code EMCFEFT23 to get 10% off the Seasonic unit, the EVGA doesn't qualify. The code is good for 48 more hours.

Those people are absolutely clueless.
No, that is not enough PSU.
