Hi
Im upgrading my old pc
Cpu- Amd athlon ii x2 250 overclocked at 3.5ghz
Ram- 6 gb 1333mhz
Graphics card- sapphire hd7970 dual-x @925mhz
Im considering to buy antec vp500pc psu since we m tight on my budget.
Ive upgraded my graphics card so will this new psu be enough for my old system?
Thank you

That's odd. Antec's own website lists it as having just a single 6 pin connector, but the review at pctekreviews lists it as having a 6 pin and an 8 pin.

Either way, are you sure you can spend a little more on the psu?

Im really tight on budget i just want to know if it can power my system enough.
im not planning on hardcore gaming and moreover my screen is only 768p resolution.
Thank you for your reply I really appreciate that.
