What's a good power supply for an HP- Pavilion P7 with this card? Note: Price below 50 please

That particular computer uses a 300 watt power supply. However, this card requires a 400 watt PS. You can still get 400 watt PS's for under 50 bucks weather on Amazon or other sites. Make sure you get the right type. ATX, micro, etc.

Since you can't do any real hardcore gaming with this card, a 300-350 Watt power supply will work on a system with a single hard drive, DVD-RW and basic CPU heat sink. Anything more advanced you'd want to look at at least a 400-450 watt power supply (if you're running 3+ fans and more than one hard drive, you should already have at least a 400 watt power supply). As always, try to stay with name brands when it comes to a power supply. Antec, Corsair, EVGA and OCZ are all reliable but in a pinch Cooler Master and ThermalTake will do.

This is a really great card. however, your concern is correct. I wouldn't try running it on a power supply that is less then 700w just to be safe. I currently run a 1100w Therm, and have had no problems.

300 watts is insufficient for this card. I'd recommend a 500w of real power. Don't buy a cheap brand. The longevity and safety of your entire PC rests in the PSUs hand.

I am actually using a 300w PSU and everything works just fine for the past week (i7-4770, 8G ram, two HDs). But don't try to take my word and keep a 300w psu for long bc it's supposed to be dangerous to your equipment. I've ordered a 500W PSU and will replace as soon as it arrives.

No, your wattage for your power supply should exceed your maximum draw (I'd recommend by 5-10%). My computer only draws 50W max but I got this PSU for other reasons. For me the 72W would work

The card calls for 550watt power supply minimum on the box. I run a Corsair TX650 to power it and my hardware with a i5-3570k CPU. I think a 750watt would work well if you want at least that. :)

This is a standard power supply. It is not HP only. This will work in many slim PC's.

Hey Ronel, I have a 750 watt power supply that I am using with this card. However, a standard power supply one with no less than 350 watts should be enough to run the card with no problems. I would recommend getting a 400 to 450 watt power supply if you will be using this card for gaming.

the wattage should be fine but you also need supplemental power plugged directly into this card from the psu.

I am using the antec 550 watt power supply which is working well for me with the am2 processor 2.6 ghz. I had another system with a 350 watt that seemed to run a little noisy. I don't know the minimum requirement but if have had enough power supply failures to know not to the minimum out. Sometimes the power supply manufacturer fudges the numbers. At least that was true in the past. Since this is for my company I opt on the safe side.

I run a 700 watt supply. It is more than adequate. A 320 should be enough. I use an extra fan hence extra power. The card is awesome. Updates regularly highly recommend.

One of these draws 250 W according to Nvidia so x2 = 500. You also need to account for your CPU MoBo and other things so I would go for something ratted with 700+ watts.I recomend this SilverStone ATX12V/EPS12V 750W Silver PFC Power Supply ST75F-P (Black) or this if you want silence http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151087

You want a reputable PSU that supplies 500 watts minimum. Yours should be fine. You will need a 6 pin PCI-e power adapter to power this card though. Some cards come with one. Before you buy, ask the seller if it includes the adapter that changes the 4-pin molex to 6-pin PCI-e power. If not, you can buy an adapter for a couple bucks on the internet.
