I'm currently using an old gaming rig from 2007. Q6600, 6GB DDR2 RAM, and 8800GT. I'm entertaining the idea of upgrading the GPU to a 7870. My main worry is the power supply.
My PSU is an AcBel 607W from 2007. According to the manufacturer specs, it has three +12v at 20A giving 480W. Is that enough to run a single 7870 card? If not, then then what kind of GPU upgrade would my PSU be able to handle?
I'd prefer not to upgrade the PSU itself. The computer is almost 6 years old, and I'd rather not sink any more money upgrading such an old rig.
