[SOLVED]Will my PC handle the 7750?

[kulz]

Hi, I'm currently looking at the ASUS HD7750. After awhile researching, it turns out that most 300w PSU can handle it. My question is that will my old DELL Inspiron 530 support it? Here is my PSU: https://www.redplanettrading.com/images/D/xw605_serial_800-02.jpg
Another question is that how much will my Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 throttle it? I don't have much money to invest on a new machine.

Best Regard

The 7750 is a 55 watt part. It does not have an extra power adapter. It should be ok with that 250 watt PSU.

As far as performance goes that depends on the program. Some games need more cpu some need more gpu, some can balance in the middle.

I think in most games you will have no problem on medium highish settings getting good frames. Something like MW2 or MW3 will run both that CPU and That GPU at like 90-100% while playing.

EDIT: mine is 300w sorry i got the wrong picture
Here's the right one: http://www.txcesssurplus.com/catalog/13691-dell-C411H-psu-label.jpg
As for gaming my current 9500gt can handle skyrim, MW2, and MW3 at medium setting at 800x600 with 40ish FPS will this add the boost to it?

You wont have a problem on either score.
The card will take all its power requirements from the motherboard.
It will be game dependant but in most cases the GPU will run out of performance long before the CPU does.

I think that with that procesor running at 2.8ghz might be ok but I would certianly try to get it up over 3.0 ghz so as not to have any bottleneck. You can try the system as is when you get the card and then if need be do a little overclock on the cpu. The 7750 is the lowest of the new card releases fro AMD and by not having the extra power connectors neans that it won't be that powerful that it will overpower your system.

1 more question
ASUS has two models 1 is normal and the other is V2
What's the difference between those 2?

Unfortunately for me DELL locks down their CPU so I can't OC it

The V-2 model has this added Super Alloy Power feature.

I wonder if you can adjust the FSB a little.

 

[computernugget]

you should be okay with the 7750 and your computer. ive had a friend run a 5670 on a 250 watts psu on a dell xps.

as for bottlenecking you should be just fine.

I don't think DELL motherboards are capable of doing any of that. ATM I don't have a job yet (I'm still a high school student), when I do, I'll build another rig.
