I am wondering if I need to upgrade my power supply before putting a new video card in, i was looking at the radeon 6670 because I saw that it was able to crossfire with my a10-6700.
My power supply is the stock one for the asus m11bb, 350w. the label says AcBel.

12v1: 13a
12v2: 13a

If i cant run the radeon 6670 on this psu could you recommend an upgrade?

You have 2 - 13 amp 12v rails so it should run it but I would upgrade.

A Radeon HD 6670 needs 17 amps on the 12v rail and a 400 watt PSU.

I recommend this:


PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Power Supply: EVGA 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($24.99 @ Micro Center)
Total: $24.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Or for some extra power.
