I just built a new computer which you can see here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1CYqo and I have everything except the GPU and the PSU. I decided my old parts were still good and used them in my new build but now I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card and I'm not sure my power supply can handle it.
At the moment, I'm using a GTX 460 I got off my friend for 20$ (He got a new gaming laptop the same week practically from his parents and knew I was hurting for a gpu so he let me have it basically) and a 530w RaidMax http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152028
I know RaidMax is supposed to be terrible and I didn't know it at the time but it's been good to me for 4 years or so. But I need to know if it will be able to run the gtx 760 i want to get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130944
It says the minimum is 500w and the RaidMax is 530w but am I pushing it? I'd rather not get a new psu if this one has been good to me and can handle it.
Thanks for your time!
