In my experience with computer builds, the most likely thing to cause a computer failure is an underpowered power supply and it frustrates you because sometimes it works and other times it wont if you stress it out. The faster your computer the more fans it needs, the more watts it takes and you need a bigger power supply. Just bite the bullet if you are upgrading and get a 750 watt or greater power supply. It should last through many upgrades unlike your video card or memory or CPU upgrades.

Should run on anything 300+ watts. If you are only playing movies at 1080p, your integrated graphics should be able to handle it.

I have a Dell stock power supply and never had any problems on VLC Media Player or any other 3rd party players. Streams fine also.

I suggest you buy a converter which supports power at least 3 times larger than what you really need, this will make you less trouble. Thus for your PS, 500W seems good enough.

I have 350 watt and the card is fine. I wouldn't use anything less. The only problem I have is that when I connect my monitor via HDMI, the display output is larger than my screen.

I paired this card with a 400 watt power supply, and that's about as low as power supplies go. So I'd say you're safe with at least 400 watts.

Didn't know it was possible to ask questions through amazon like this. Anyway, you should probably have like a 400w power supply.

I have minimal wattage from my power source. the rating is for max need. mine runs my media center without lag i don't know about games but i am very happy with my graphics. i think you have more than enough wattage. and you can't beat the price

500 watts max as stated in the description. I wouldn't go above 400 total to be on the safe side.

It depends on how many hard drives your system has installed. That graphics card draws 372 watts at full load. The motherboard draws between 150 and 250 watts. Hard drives under full load draws around 40 watts. This power supply should work without any problems unless you have a system with a lot of components. I had an initial problem because I have 7 hard drives and one Blu-ray drive in the system that I put this power supply in. Just make sure to put only 2 hard drives per physical SATA power cable. This supply comes with 4 cables to connect peripherals. This is a great supply. It should work fine for you. Hope this helps.

Depends on the rest of your hardware. This card uses 150w, you will have to calculate the rest on your own.Minimum recommended is 500w.

looks like the projector uses 280w to 300w while running, call it 3 Amps, 18awg is 10A max, a quick look at the spec sheet show the use of the hp power connector. for normal use, this should let you set the projector up and reach the wall power that has been just out of reach with the short cord provided.

You better upgrade your power supply at least to 400 watt. Check the power requirements of this card.

From memory a 400 Watt PSU is needed. I went 500 Watts just so I could have a little extra.

Nope bs 1600x900 res. I told them about it I bought two of these and both were not 1080p

I have a 400 watt power supply and it works fine.I would try it with the 250w because you can always send it back.

Informal rule is twice the maximum load in Watts (for surges when certain equipment starts up). So 500W is all you'd need.

It depends what you will use it for. My only purpose was a digital monitor with an old Dell Optiplex and I doubt I have your 300 Watts. Also to update what I could do with it regarding video but not gaming with a console. The other site I use for computer parts recommends 400 watts if that's the case.
