We need the make and model of the PSU to make an informed decision. A good 500w PSU will run it no problems. A low quality 600w PSU could burn up and damage everything else in the process. Knowing the rest of the systems specs would also be helpful.

It's a TR2 with a different paint job, I wouldn't trust it.

Unless it is a crappy psu that does not deliver advertised power, it should be fine.
Does it have the required 6 and 8 pin connectors?


These are my current computer specs and I just want to upgrade it enough to play Dead Rising 3 on decent settings when it comes to PC.

Processor: Intel i5-2400 3.1Ghz
Ram: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance

If it's a good PSU, yes. Do you have the model of your PSU? Or perhaps the wattage ratings?


My processor is the Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz LGA 95W Quad-Core





That's the model of the CPU not the PSU.
