Will this work with a 250 watt power supply?

It should be 'ok' to try. If you start getting random 'freezes' or the system just randomly 'reboots' on its own, that tells you the power supply is probably old and needs to be replaced.

How old is your PC box? Do you know your processor? This card only draws around 25 watts at load (give or take a few watts). So a properly working 250-watt power supply should do the job. If the power supply is no-brand & older than 3 years, I would probably look at replacing the power supply. Get a 350 watt power supply by a good brand like Antec. Worth the small price to replace what typically goes first in a store-bought box unit.

I don't believe that it will have sufficient power. I built nothing but 350 to 400 watt computers up until the time I finished that machine. Since then, to be safe and not sorry, I have installed Thermaltake 700's and one Coolermaster 600 80% guaranteed unit in my newer builds. When the prices come down with rebates, there is no need to under power these machines. More IS better and simplifies things a lot.

As long as you have a pci express-16x slot it will fit and the power supply should be at least 500 watts

Yes it will. I have actually tested this power supply with a load that draws 20 A forabout 1/2 hour and it did the job without problem. The power supply is rated for 30 A,but I never tested it at 30 A.

Not sure the min req but I bought a mini case with a 250 watt PS and it worked perfectly

I have a 500w power supply and it works fine. A 550w will be good especially for having future expansions within your rig. Buying it used should be fine as well.

I have the 1000 watts system and it sounds great. I don't know about the 250 watt. You might want to upgrade .

Yes it should work but with a 250watt powersupply, which your computer is running, could not be quite enough to operate that..you may also want to invest in some ram. Your PC comes stock with 512mb of ram. It would be beneficial to up it to at least 4mb. But to answer your question, yes it will work with the proper software installed from nvidia's website

300 watt is the minimum requirement. It will run on this power supply but it would be better to have a bigger power supply

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

yes it will, but I would go with a name brand power supply because my Sentey blew up when I hit the power switch. I sent it back and went with a name brand supply and had no problem, I would not recommend this power supply.

Hmmm... When I upgraded the PSU, I believe it was around 250 watts or a bit less than that. For sure, it wasn't over 250 watts.

No it would not work. You barely have enough for the memory, cpu, hard drive and cd drive to run with a 220 watt PSU.

It should work just fine. Provided you have a big enough power supply. I personally use a 500 watt

You should be able to use either a 250 Watt like the one I bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0097KU6NU?ref_=pe_527950_33920250 or this 350 Watt which someone said in reviews they could fit into exactly your model PC.

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.

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

It really depends on what you intend to use the PC for and what peripherals you'll be using. If you're looking for minimum power, then 250 Watts will get you by with a couple of hard drives, an optical drive, and on-board video. Nothing more. Graphics cards will require 350 watts and higher. From there, you'll need to review what the minimum specs are for that graphics card.
