[SOLVED] Can a 380 watt PSU Handle my PC

[Wirmaple73]

Hello Tomshardware Community, I'm upgrading my GPU to a GTX 650 ti and I need some advice before upgrading. I have a system with

CPU - Intel Pentium G2020 (Maybe I upgrade this to i5-3470 later)
GPU - GT710 (Wanna upgrade to GTX 650 ti if my psu can handle it.)
RAM - 4GB DDR3-1333 (2x2 ram)
HDD - 500GB
MOBO - Gigabyte H61M-S2PV (REV 2.2)
PSU - 380 watt

I won't overclock anything. So can my 380 WATT PSU Handle the PC with Specs above? Thanks guys

A reliable 350W PSU could power a system with those components and the mentioned upgrades.

What's the exact power supply? This is necessary information.

Hi, it's a Green GP380A (380 watt)

 

[DSzymborski]

Can you post a picture of the label on the PSU? Unfortunately, the Iranian company that sells these has used GP380A for a number of PSUs and some of them have as little as 16A on the +12V rail (which means it's a 192W PSU for all intents and purposes, not a 380W).

Sure, here it is.

You PSU should be just fine. GTX 650 is 65W. Nvidia recommends 400W. How old is the PSU?

 

[DSzymborski]

The spec for a 650 Ti is 110W. Given the specs of this PSU, the fact that it has passive PFC, and that this company has numerous future generations of this PSU with closer to 380W available of +12V power and active PFC, this PSU is likely very old and not very good quality. I would not run a 650 Ti on this PSU.

The PSU is a hazard I wouldn't run any PC with it.

Yea as others said it might run a regular gtx 650 not Ti but even then if its old it won't give full wattage and it might fail even with a regular gtx 650.

Also your CPU might bottleneck a 650 Ti.
