350 watt PSU good enough for GTX 750Ti SC 2GB?

[n00bguy84]

I just popped my case open and saw that I have a 350 Watt PSU. It isn't made by a Corsair or Antec or anything like that. It is by some other company that I don't recognize. But I haven't dealt with many power supplies. I think it was PBA or something. It started with a P.

Anyway I heard someone say a 300 watt wasn't good enough. But on Newegg the specs say 300 watt or greater. Mine is greater, not by much though.

So will the 750Ti work?


I am planning to buy and use the model that gets power from the slot not the models that need power directly from the PSU.

Like I said I can determine if the PSU is safe if i can get the table that lists the output as well as the brand and model

Here is pic of the chart on my power supply. I had mistaken the bold 350 to mean I had a 350 watt. Apparently my PSU output is only 286.4. I guess I will need a new power supply after all.

Also I am considering letting geek squad install it. Maybe they can get a hold of a better power supply as well. Just more expense for me. If I need a new power supply I would prefer they install it and worry with hooking it all back up.

Not a bad idea if you are unsure about it, or even a local PC shop if that's an option, maybe cheaper. Also they may provide a warranty.

Warranties are awesome when you need them lol.

Did anyone see the picture of my power supply chart?

Yes You might be pushing it a bit to use the 750ti so I would recomend replacing it check out either the cosair cx430 or evga 500b both can be had for around 30ish dollars

I am going to use an Antec 380 Watt EarthWatts PSU.

Yeh that should be fine Antec makes good PSU's and the earthwatt while not a particularly good one, is not bad either
