So I bought a Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ OC 8GB and now need to know if my psu can even run it. If anything on the silent mode that uses less power. This here is my psu. I will be getting this later on but wanted to use the card now since I have it.
 
Solution
That will not work, the recommended PSU for the GPU is 225W but that is never correct and sometimes higher. So current PSU will not work but the one you thinking of buying will! However if you thinking of only upgrading graphics; i would not buy 750W platinum PSU but something like 650W Gold or similar. Let me if you need PSU recommendation.
