I Do video&audio; encoding. My computer as is Now Biostar 970T overclocker board,AMD Phenon 2 965 overclocked to 3.925 Ghz,16Gigs ram,overclocked Radeon HD 6850 Video card,1Tbyte SSHD hybrid C drive,(2)2Tbyte Data Drives,USB 3 Card Reader and Vantec Dual 3.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0/eSATA External HDD Enclosure with Fan with 2 (3Tbyte Drives). IF YOU KEEP IT SIMPLE AND DO NOT WANT AD MORE YOU SHOULD BE FINE. IF YOU WANT TO UP GRADE THEN I WOULD PUT 550W-650W IN.

Probably not but I would if I were you. Power supplies aren't that expensive and you will be sitting on the edge of what you will need.

I would recommend you upgrade to a 300W power supply if you're going to upgrade the video card.

550W is not enough for this card and all the other components in your PC. Technically your PC will run, but the power supply will be maxed out quickly when playing a graphically-intensive game and you won't get full power out of your hardware and so your performance will suffer (remember, you only get 80-90 percent of the power from a high end PSU, so you are only actually getting 450 or so watts from this PSU). You should get a 700-750W minimum to ensure you are not wasting money on the graphics card. Also, don't buy the PSU used - as another person noted it won't have a warranty and you presumably won't know how many hours have been put on the PSU and so it's life could be considerably shortened. 550W is not enough for this card and all the other components in your PC.

300W If you upgrade the video card, be sure to change the power supply too!

I have a 700 W in my machine, so I couldn't say from experience.http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm recommends a 450 W PSU. So 500 W should be enough. :)

You will have to upgrade you PSU to at least 400w for to run some games, I would recommend a 600w or above. I have a corsair tx650 and it runs cool even with a lot of power demand.

That depends on the graphic card you will be using.650 WATT FOR SINGLE CARD. 2 GRAPHIC CARDS 750 WATT. I RUN A 850 WATT FOR MY RIG POWER TO UPGRADE.

I would get at least a 450 W PSU... preferably 600 W. I was running into issues with a 450 W, but upgrading to 650 solved all my issues.

It will power your system without an issue. With those specs I would suspect even a 500 watt PSU would work but if you plan on upgrading in the future or putting that video card in Crossfire you would want the 700 watt. Here is a link to a a PSU calculator that should help you in the future, http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com

The one I had lasted 3 years running almost constantly. My video card went bad and took it with it. I upgraded to an 800 Watt Thermaltake model when I replaced the video card. You didn't mention what else you are running like additional hard drives or DVD / CD drives. It's a good, dependable power supply, so it may be all you need. Personally, I would go a little bigger.

It may be possible to operate this video card on your power supply, I would not recommend it, the card recommends a minimum of 400 watts power supply. What is the feasibility of upgrading your power supply, if you are using a standard case, upgrading the power supply with a compatible one such as the Diablotek DA Series 400-Watt ATX Power Supply PSDA400, it's only about $20.00, then this Video card would be suitable. It is a very good, quiet, stable video card, I use one to drive a pair of 20" Viewsonic displays, one digital one analog, for a 40" wide desktop. Works great . . .

Technically, it should be higher, but it may still work well. There was some sort of incompatibilty between my card and PC (wasn't able to determine the cause), so I traded with a friend. He's now running it on a higher-end medium performance pc with only a 350w psu and it's working perfectly for him. Granted, he only buys high quality brand psu.

The power supply is fine for the unit as is, unless you decide to upgrade something like the graphics card. That would necessitate a power supply upgrade as well.

Should be plenty. NVidia GTX 970 cards only require max 165W of power. You should be fine with 850W.

The GTX 970 wants at least a 500W PSU, but I've never had it draw that much power, You should be fine, but you might want to be on the safe side and go up to the 500W

Hi Luis. There's no extra power plug for this card, so that part is fine for you. But only 300W is pretty low. You can try it, and if you experience random shutdowns and instability, that's your primary cause and you should upgrade the PS to 600W or so. Obviously, no video card will really use 200W (it would simply melt down), but most PS are 80% efficient, a hard drive takes some more, the CPU takes some, on and on. As you can read, some folks are using it with 300W just fine. You need to take into account how much other stuff you have plugged in and running. I had five hard drives, a 125W CPU and so on, so it was unworkable to have just 300W. Hi Luis. There's no extra power plug for this card, so that part is fine for you. But only 300W is pretty low.

yes, you must install a 1500w psu for both graphics card, then youll have a quadfire installation, so it requires more power, greetings and hace a nice day
