320w power supply

[LyZo__]

Hello,
so i have a 320 watts power supply and my friends has a Asus GeForce GT730 that he wants to give me for free but i don't know if it's able to handle the graphics card.
how much power does the card need???
have a good day/night further 🙂

The card doesn't need much, from what PCPartPicker shows, it needs 50 Watts, but don't forget to factor in all the other components in your computer and if your motherboard doesn't support PCIe, then you cannot use your card, but I'm pretty sure you probably do have a motherboard probably has PCIe slots. The graphic card may only need a bit of power, but the other components may hog the rest, don't cheap out on a power supply.

+LyZo__ You are fine. Your 320 watt power supply is definitely enough. Install the GT 730 and enjoy the games.

Your friend is a cool guy for giving you the GPU.
