After 5 years using this old (and misery) system, I felt like I needed something, so I decided to get a new graphics card to replace the intergrated GPU of my CPU. But I later realized that my system was using a no-name PSU that would kill my system if I insert a graphics card that exceed its limit.
So I decided to get a new ASUS GT 1030 which is released recently to play some MMOs, I heard that it use very little power (about 30W). But I wonder if my system would be killed if I attach it? Is it safe to do so?
My system:
CPU: Intel celeron G540 2,5GHz (2 cores) with intergrated graphics
Mainboard: BIOSTAR H61MLV2
Memory: 4GB DDR3 1066
PSU: A no-name brand "Arrow" which said 500W but people told its' real power is about 220W
*I dont have enough money to buy a new graphics card and PSU in the same time
*Also sorry about my bad English
