Need help picking power supply for graphics card

jimjam690 · Oct 28, 2016

Hello, I'm helping my buddy put in a graphics card he got into his pc. Im pretty sure he needs a new power supply. The pc is a hp pavilion 500-205t, and the graphic card is a AMD Radeon HD 6870. How much wattage would I need to push this card and the pc comfortably? Thanks in advance!
