Hi! My cousin will be giving me his HD 7770 at the end of the month.

My specs are:

CPU: Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30Ghz
RAM: DDR3 4GB
MoBo: Acer Veriton M290
PSU: Powerlogic 700W

Will that be enough? Thanks in advance! :)

Anything above 400w is sufficient for single 7770, but not a Powerlogic one as their just too unreliable and don't supply enough amps on the power rails. Get a Seasonic, Corsair or Antec, and make sure it's got a 6-pin PCIe connector for the graphics card.

Remember, if you buy a cheap, low-grade PSU and it fails, it can also destroy your graphics card and/or other components.

So I just have to get a quality PSU and I'm good to go right? Thanks! :)
