I just realized that I need a new power supply before I can buy the Nvidia Geforce 750 Ti this thing is the recommended wattage of about 300 Watts the power supply only has 350 W of power that's about like what 50 W of power left. The pictures here is begin look at it is all the power supply itself I am not sure if an aftermarket power supply wouldn't have enough clearance in the case not to mention all of them have switch on their. So I'll let you decide do you think I have enough space to put a new power supply in or not? I also know that I would need a modular power supply to stop all the wires from clogging up in the case and restricting airflow.

Sure you have enough room. Here is what I use. I run a 6950 with this and it works great.

Edit:: the above PSU is the same size as the one you currently have. No changes will be needed.

This required 300w+ of power. You could try it and see if it works. My 6950 worked with a really cheap 300w for over 12 months. The system started to restart and then I purchased the EVGA PSU.

A caps age has nothing to do with its life span heat is the main factor thats why their rated by hours at a specific heat range.

Right but just to be safe i'll buy the PSU with the GPU.


Don't worry I will.


Just trying to safe then sorry that's all.


Like I said just playing it safe.



I see what let's just pray that the price doesn't go up I'm doing this as a victory lap if Donald Trump wins the presidential election. I have a paypal link to one of the bank accounts my mom put on lockdown because she thinks him spend it all. There's about over $1000 in that said account once Trump wins the presidential election or when he wins not only will I both buy the video card and upon supply unit but I will also sign it saying thank you Donald Trump you have just saved America from God's judgment. Will any rate let's just pray that the price stays down and doesn't rise always up until November 8 That'll rub salt into the wounds. If he doesn't then I'll be on a plane ticket to get out of this country as fast as possible.

its a know fact power supply lose wattage over time no matter how cool ya keep em but cooler ya keep it and clean it and don't run it 24/7 the longer it will last unless ya replace all the capacitors at some point.

You know wildcard you didn't have to type all of that in different posts you should just typed it all in one post. But I see your point about the power supply calculations.
