Hello Once again, I have this processor and a graphic card which draws 300w, with 2 Hard drives and 4 case fans, What power supply fits there?

going to necro this question but i would go around 750 and older to be safe

300 W power supply is enough to run this card. There are no separate power supply cord or connection is necessary.

You can use a 650w psu or any other over the 500w. Just be sure that you have an available 4pin power supply cable to connect the graphic card 6 pins cable.

My SFF PC is running off a 250W power supply so I guess if your CPU is not the power hungry type (mine is the low end dual-core 3M cacahe 2.7GHz type), 300W probably will be okay.

The power supply is 350 watts. You will need a different video card than is on the motherboard so add that cost.

425 watts is really pushing it. To help you decide google a power supply calculator and factor in everything in your system, including the case fans. Yes both power supply connections need to be plugged in for proper function. I don't know what's in your system but I'd recommend upgrading your power supply to at least a 500w. Cooler master makes a good one for a good price.

That would 630w continuous power- plenty for my rig, which is running an i7 quad core, a 1TB drive and 2SSD's, plus a dvd burner and asus video card and probably only draws 300w max- this ps has been great since I purchased it a few months back!

I know your post was almost a month ago; however if you have not received any help here are the graphic card comparison charts that you need to determine how big an upgrade that the new card would be http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ As far as how big a power supply that you would need, this really depends on how many hard drives, optical drives, ram, etc. that you have. My suggestion would be 600 is usually a decent wattage for a power supply with an upper end graphics card.

A power suppuy with 600 watts will be enough, make sure it has 2 pci express of 4 and 8 pins, and remember to be sure its compatible with your motherboard

it should work with no problem but when I my new system I just installed a cooler master 850W power supply in to match the case. The latest case I built was the cooler master storm trooper that case I placed the 1000W power Supply from Cooler Master.

280w is more than double what you would actually need to run this thing. It only draws around 30w. The most the PCIE slot can provide is 75w, so you're fine.

That depends on the amount of peripherals you have ie: PCIe cards, hard drives, dvd drives ect....a 300 w power supply is more than enough to run a processor by itself but the amount of other components you are trying to run will determine the amount of power you need. Here is a link to power supply calculator.http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

I would suspect that if you're replacing a prior card in your system, your power supply will be adequate. This card does not require any additional power cable to be attached, it gets all its power from the graphic's slot. I would imagine if you have over a 300W power supply you're OK.

The power supply question has been answered numerous times.300 watts is OK. Check your cables unplug and reseat the video card. If you have a built in video card you may have to disable it from the bios. It is possible that you received a defective unit as well.

Its a 500 watt power supply you could probably google it. It shouldnt have much effect espically if you are already running a desktop.

Yes!It's big, though, so make sure your case can fit two of them, you have 700w or better power supply for two, and of course, that your motherboard supports it.

My suggestion would be a 450 watt power supply. I had just upgraded to a 600 watt before I bought the card. When I researched this card originally, people said that the original 300 watt would work but I think it needs the extra wattage.
