Hello, i wan't to buy Sapphire HD6670 1GB GDDR5 for my computer. Is it going to work on my LC POWER 420W wihout risk?

AMD A8 3850 X4 2.9, 1X 2GB DDR3 1333MHz, 1X 4GB DDR3 1333MHz, ECS A75F-M2, LC POWER 420W.
People on Croatian forum say that is very risky becouse A8 alredy need 100w and HD6670 will need about 66w. So is it risky to put this card in my PC or it will work normal without risk??
P.S sorry for bad english.

It should work fine. 100W for CPU, 75W max for GPU, let's say another 100W for everything else. That's 275W and realistically your use would be lower than that. Even a cheap 420W should be able to handle it. I do recommend getting a better quality power supply but I wouldn't say it's required.

Of course there's a risk. Any time you use a cheap power supply you are risking your system, this is why I recommend upgrading to a good one. If people who have owned one of these say don't do, then don't do it. It is common for cheap power supplies to put out far less power than they claim, so I believe that maybe this power supply struggles to even put out 200W. I don't know what you want to hear, if you get a less power demanding videocard maybe it works but then it won't be powerful enough for games.
