If I have a Seasonic 430 Watt PSU, Gigabyte 970A UD3 AM3+, AMD FX-4300 CPU and this GPU will the system be under powered and not work?

The system may run but it will be at a performance loss. I am running this card with an AMD FX8350 8 core @ 4.00Ghz and an MSI 970A-G46 MB and running good on a 600 Watt PSU. I would recommend at least a 600 Watt.

It depends on the other components in your system. I run a 450w power supply with this card and no issues. If your CPU is sucking up more than average watts you may require more , but this card has a very low power requirement considering pretty good performance.

Im running mine with a corsair 750 w power supply and it is running fine. Im not one hundred percent sure but maybe give pcpartspicker a try and just put what you have andd the graphics card to the build.

it depends on the rest of your system but this GPU isn't a power hungry . only uses 65watts max so it do'll find on a 300 watt PUS :D

You should be OK. I just built a steam machine with a 430w PSU and I'm running this card just fine!

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.

I have my whole system hooked up to a 750 watt PSU except for my second card, which is hooked up to my 500 watt PSU. So if you're putting both cards on the 750 watt PSU then you should be fine.

The spec sheet says the minimum power requirement is 300 watts for the system and 65 for the card, so it would seem your system is right on the edge.

I'm using the same CPU, 2 970s, and similar other specs, with this power supplier. I believe I overshot it for my system by a decent margin. Since you are only using one graphic card, I believe you can take a smaller power supplier easily. I'm not an expert though.

If it works with your motherboard, I recommend it for its conservative ratings and stable outputs. See [H]ardOCP's PSU reviews on Seasonic. Good through testing there and Seasonic X series do very well.Powers my i7 to 4.5 GHz with 32 GB of RAM and two gtx 580 over clocked SLI cards all watercooled.

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

I have 700 watt in mine and it works just fine as long as you don't want to over clock I am running a amd phenom 2 965 black edition running at std clock of 3.4 GHz when I tried to over clock is only time I had power issues with that card..

I would try out your 650 watt to see if it works ago before you spend anymore money. I am currently using a 850 watt PSU. If it does not work you can always order a new PSU later.

Nope. On the box it says a minimum amount of power to operate properly. I think a 350W power supply is not sufficient to run this card. Plus, you will need extra 2 peripheral power connectors if you do not have a 6pin power connector to the PSU

Yes, if it is a bronze standard 500 watt power supply. I recommend 700 watt bronze standard power supply if you want to over clock your cpu, memory, and graphics card in the near future. This graphics card has tweaking capability.

I think you must upgrade your PSU to 400w , check the system requirements from this link- http://www.gigabyte.com.lk/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4380#sp .

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