Can my 350w PSU run a GTX 670?

joeyintense · Feb 17, 2018

So let me explain...

I'm a budget gamer with a little bit of computer expertise.

I've searched up on PCPartpicker and I've checked the power needed to run a 670 and it says a 350w PSU should be fine with my specs. This doesn't seem to be the case so please help!

CPU: Intel Pentium G4560

RAM: 8GB 2133mhz (dual channel 4gb)

PSU: Corsair VS350

Motherboard: MSI B250M

Storage: 1TB Western Digital Blue Caviar HDD

GPU: EVGA GTX 670 2gb (Hopefully)

Thanks! Btw I'm really dumb and I will find the easiest route (without replacing the PSU) to get this GPU (or anything with similar performance and for a good price) running.

P.S. If it is combatible please find some adaptors to PCIe or something :3

in terms of wattage it should be fine, depending on the model you're buying. the GTX takes up to 170W at stock speeds. this would be borderline alright.

however it needs 2x 6-pin PCIe. Your PSU only has one of those.
you can convert 2 MOLEX into 1 6-pin PCIe with an adapter, however it's not without risk
seeing your unit isn't exactly the best one out there, I wouldn't risk it tbh

Oh ok... Any GPU's that perform similar and cost around $100AUD?

I have no clue about AUD prices.

the problem is your PSU only has a single 6-Pin PCIe (at least judging from the pictures. if it's an 8-pin you'd have more options. better check that yourself)

with a single 6pin, your best shot is a GTX 960 or a 1050Ti (the 1050 would be ~10% slower. if that's not a problem, it could be viable)
