It requires a 600 Watt power supply and I have a 650 Watt PSU. Will that be okay or should I upgrade the PSU to something more powerful as well?

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.

Yes, you are fine with a 650 watt PSU.I'm using an i5 and this card on my PC with 450 watts, so I believe you're in the clear.

As long as you do not have several hard drives, or anything unusual in your system that is drawing extra power, then 600W is fine for this card. I would not personally go below 600W, but it will work.

You need the pci slot which is 75 watts a 6 pin for another 75 and the 8 pin for 150 - max is 300 watts for the card alone

It depends on how many other things you have in your system, but 850w should be more than enough. I'm running my card on a 550 W PSU right now. As long as you have the needed power connections off your psu you are golden.

the specs on this card's webpage say the minimum wattage power supply required is a 450W, however if your power supply is of low quality (many are) 500W probably wouldn't be enough. personally, i would upgrade to a 600W just in case, and also so that there is more room for power in the future.

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

it should run just fine, as long as you have at least a 300 watt power supply and a 16X pcie slot. it will be a slight upgrade, not a ,major boost.

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.

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'm using a 750 watt power supply, and have had no issues. My old PSU was 700 and it was fine in there too.

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.

Not sure since you will be going up in wattage. Your existing power supply is 400 watts, where this one would be 650 watts. You would have to check the specs on your computer mother board to see if you can up the wattage.

Considering the PS is actually a 600watt powersupply, item lists for a 650 but you actually get a 600w power supply. That being said, hard drives dont take up to much power but you may want to upgrade the PS anyway for more power adapters, i would get a modular power supply so its easy to add upgrades and additional stuff to your computer as you go.

It depends on what else you are running in your system. I bought this with a 750 Watt power just to be safe, but if you are not running that high power usage of hardware, you should be fine.

If it has a pci-express slot and power/supply has 6 pin pci plug you should be good to go.Make sure you download drivers and AMD applicable performanceprograms i.e. AMD catalyst. Good Luck.... Rudy

It should. But the power supply may need to upgraded to a 650w, depending on what is may be drawing on power. And its never a bad thing to err on the side of caution when dealing with power to the system.

You always want more power than what is suggested. It will run but will put extra wear in the 600w power supply. Took a fast look if you are spending this much on the graphics card take a look for yourself. You can find a decent 850w-1200w for under $300. I did see one under $100, when you can you want to double the power requirements.

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.
