Would a 300 watt power supply be good enough for this?

barely!!! if you don't have too many other things going on it will work other wise get at least 500 watt power supply and that would be better

The box of the graphics card recommends at least 450 Watt power supply with 12V@40Amps, which is higher than a lot of cheap 400 or even 500 Watt power supplies have. Specs on a site like newegg will give you the amperage details that Amazon doesn't list.

I meant to say no. 300 watt is the max. You are at 400. Too much will melt cable

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

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 would get at least 700 watt supply considering the other components in your rig to be safe.

Hello,Difficult at best, as the original 300W PS in a proprietary 12 pin model...unless you choose to change the motherboard... which is pointless.You also could have to add cooling fans...in this case.Better go firsthand with a computer featuring the power supply you intend to use...!!!This system is by no way intended for gamers...needing power hungry game cards...!!!Hope that helps you.Rejean

My suggestion would be a 450 watt power supply. I had just upgraded to a 600 watt before I bought the card. When I researched this card originally, people said that the original 300 watt would work but I think it needs the extra wattage.

I'm gonna be safe and tell you that 300 watts is dangerously low for this card. I would recommend at least a 500 watt power supply. Anything below that and you're pushin' it. You also have to take into account the other things in your build, like CPU and how many Hard Drives you've got. So a 500 would definitely give you plenty of power for the 650ti boost, as well as giving you room for future growth.

Your power supply is more than enough for this card. 300 watts is the minimum requirement, you have 350 watts so you are good to go, my friend.

1100 should be enough power but that supply doesnt have the best reputation,seriously, if youre going to be using twin 780's you dont want to skimp on the PSU.

I installed this on my grandson's computer with 350watt power supply. Only one hard drive and one dvd/cd drive. As long as you don't have a lot of power consuming additions you should be ok!

Go with a quality power supply like a 300w seasonic and you'll be fine. Always go name brand on a psu. Never go cheap. A 430w power supply will give you a little overhead to add a graphics card in the future if you want to do dual graphics, but even 430w will be overkill if the card can run off of the pcie bus.

I use 650W . I think it is enough. You can search some websites that tells you exactly how much you need depending on your computer.

Yes. Although you may want to overestimate your requirements for that power supply. These boards are quite efficient, but not 100%, so your supply will need to provide &gt;30 watts to get 30 watts to the LED. Anyway, in all cases it is a good idea to have 30% or so overhead on your power supply.

350 watt is way too low for this. You will need at lest a 600 watt power supply

Yes it would far as graphics card make sure you have high enough watts for power supply

That depends on the amount of peripherals you have ie: PCIe cards, hard drives, dvd drives ect....a 300 w power supply is more than enough to run a processor by itself but the amount of other components you are trying to run will determine the amount of power you need.
