will this work on ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0? I have 450W PSU, should i have to upgrade that PSU?

Can't answer that since it would most definitely depend on what other components you have. This card does not require a lot of power by design, but the total power load would depend on the other components in your system - not just this card.

this should help, just enter in everything on your rig and It will give you a decent estimate of power needed to run it. I suspect you should be fine with the 450. http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

No you should be fine.. It does not have an additional power plug. 450w should be fine

I have SFX 450W 80+ Bronze Certified PSU and it works just fine :) It comes with the Silverstone Tek SG05 case My specs: HD: WD 1Tb black CPU: i5 3350P RAM: Corsair vengeance 8Gb and an external sound card

Sorry can't answer about that motherboard, but I'm running it on a Gigabyte M61PME-S2 motherboard which supports AMD Socket AM2+ CPU's (Athlon X2 6000 processor) and a thermaltake 800W power supply which I upgraded from a 400W power supply

It doesnt require a power connector from psu, draws its power straight through the motherboard. Not sure about power requirements, i have a 480 watt psu and im running lots of accessories off it with no problems- tower with illuminated panels and cooling fans, neon light in tower, auxiliary blower motor, and sound card. system is a second gen i5 cpu w/ 8 gigs ram. You should be ok, unless you start putting all these lights into it.

It should work, I have installed it on Asus M4A78-E, a Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 motherboards, you can order from Amazon for just $3.50 to try. most of these Asus motherboards with same socket, yours is and AM3+ use same support bracket line up and CPU fan. I found that if they break the heatsink lock is to tight so you may need to reduce the tension or it will soon break the new bracket. I have new original 2 piece bracket and base assy if you can't get this to work if you need them.

i just bought a 500w corsair . it works flawless. also have a R9 270x on the same rig http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Watt-EPS%C2%A0-CX500/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1415836474&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+builder

This board will support up to a 125W TDP so it should be fine as long as you have the correct BIOS. Here is a link to check BIOS requirement:http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASUS/M5A78L-M_LX_PLUS.html

No. It requires a 450w minimum, and installing it with lower could destroy the gpu

It is highly unlikely that you will need to upgrade your PSU. It is all dependent on what your other hardware is as well, but I doubt you will need to upgrade.

John, I'm sorry. It turns out that the problem with my computer was unrelated to the card. As for upgrading your PSU, I'm not sure if I would be able to give you useful advice.

Hi there, Looks like you'll be upgrading. First a power supply then a GPU then faster Memory, on & on etc I bet. lol I think I would upgrade the PWR up to 1000w.This will give yourself a lot of safe upgrading capabilities. I run 1100w SLI PWR. This way I can upgrade and not worry about power. The cost isn't all that much difference.

Personally, I like to have a little more than required so i would go with an 850W PSU, so to answer your question, yes this one will work fine. You could also use a 750W PSU as well though.

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.

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 used this card with an Asus m5a99x Evo r2 (990fx chipset) using a FX8350 cpu and worked just fine, keep in mind AMD processors take up more watts than intel so be ready to use a minimum of 850w 80 plus gold PSU. Look at Corsair, XFX and EVGA PSUs, specially a 80 plus gold single rail and you will be ok. I use a XFX pro 850w 80 plus gold with this card and never goes beyond 800w (15w0 idle, 750w running crysis 3 maxed out at 1080)

Depending on what else you have, and if you over clocking your CPU or the GPU it won't work. 750W is your best bet. I'm stuck in the same boat as you cause I'm trying to buy two but it won't work but I'm not trying to buy another PS

You should be able to run it just fine with a 600W PSU. If you are going to upgrade in the future, say crossfire, then you should look into upgrading to a 750W or 800W PSU.
