The single slot GPU does NOT use extra power (harness) from the PSU. It works strictly from the mobo power. Your 500 watt PSU is going to work just fine....

Yes and no, it may cause issues as the card needs 300w to run, but I ran it on 500w for about 2 months before I upgraded and it caused power surges but as long as your power supply has a 6 pin and 8 pin, then you should have no issues running it, it more depends on its power consumption while gaming

This power supply should be overkill for your system. Go ahead and grab it. I'm CompTIA A+ Certified, this PSU meets all of your hardware's requirements, easily.

You will need to upgrade your power supply to have stable performance with this card. I recommend at least a 500 watt.

I used a 650 W PSU, but it depends on your mobo/cpu requirements. I referred to the Puget Systems site for analysis and guidance. You are likely OK - I built in some headroom for expansion later.

yes, just make sure your power supply can handle it. at least 450 or 500 watts

Depending on the processor he's using, you should be fine with a 500W PS. If you see him upgrading further down the road, you may want to consider higher. It will save you some money overall. I run this card and an i7 processor on a 510W PS and it is perfect. north of that wattage and you open it up for upgrading down the road, which is definitely a good thing. In conclusion, 500W+ PS and you will be fine for this card. :)

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

As far as the overall watts are concerned, this is enough. There's also enough plugs for all of that (with room for another graphics card or two if you wanted more later). You should be just fine! I love this PSU. Highly recommended.

I have a 300 watt PSU with stock 8 gb of ram and an intel I5, and it runs it perfectly fine, but I will be investing into a new PSU, just for future possible upgrades.

Yes definitely, and if you don't trust me or anyone else here, go to pcpartpicker.com and put in all the parts to see the estimated wattage. This PSU has 80% bronze efficiency so you should leave around 150W just to be safe.

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.

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.

I'm running it with 0 issues on a 700W 80++ Platinum Certified PSU so I would think u should be fine, although I would see if your PSU is certified because that will make a large difference.

This is not a good psu. Buy http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEJZ1N4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think you might be pushing it with a 400W PSU. I guess it depends on the item quality. You may be just fine. Not really an answer, sorry.

400 would be pushing it. I have a 600w and it does fine. I would say the minimum would be 500w but it really depends on your total power consumption system wide.
