sup, I got a question about my pc. I'm getting a new GPU cuz my one is litteraly [expletive deleted] (xfx 6570 1gb) and the dvi-i ports are broken (blackscreen :c). So I've found some guy that sells a GTX 570 for 50€ and I'm wondering if my psu can handle it
my PSU is 350watt and if I use the gtx570 the pc uses 408watt, should that be a big problem? Like do I have to buy a new PSU or something? cuz my old gpu (sapphire 6950 dirt3 edition 2gb) used 389 watt and didnt have any problems, pc never shut down n [expleteive deleted].

Here's my PC build with the gtx 570 in it

With that super Crap PSU [Corsair VS350] & powerhog GPU [GTX570] your whole System will be Toasted.
You need at least 500W PSU for that build.
