350 watt pay really 350 watts?

[Qub]

I'm planning on getting the gtx 750 ti in the future and it only needs 300 watts minimum. But I'm a little concern since I've heard some trouble about my psu. It's a ac bell hba008-za1gt and the gpu is a nvida gtx 750 ti. Please let me know if the graphics card is compatible

The PSU can only deliver 216w to the 12v rail which is very poor. I would not run a 750ti on it. Time for a PSU upgrade.

Thanks, I guess I'll have to find a cheap upgrade

Don't go too cheap. Here's a decent list to guide you

Try to get a tier 1 or 2 if you can, tier 3 if you must but avoid tier 4 and definitely avoid tier 5.

Would tier 5 be simply rated 80+ efficiency compared to 80+ bronze (tier 4?)

The 80 plus rating has very little to do with quality. Its an efficiency rating not a quality rating.

My PC is an asus essentio cm1745 with the AMD a8 processor, I know it's not s top quality psu but would it simply work http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU ?

It would work. Here's one that a tier 1 and also costs $40(after mir) its definitely overkill but its a good price.
