Can my 300w handle this card?

[HarrY_12321]

I have a desktop which has a 300w max output of a power supply unit and i think i should install my HD 5670 1GB GDDR5 should i?

What are your specs just to get a idea of your power consumption. Although I think you will be fine.

Unfortunately that won't be enough. According to AMD "400 Watt or greater power supply recommended" (http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/5000/5670#).
Let me know if you'd like some recommendations on affordable good quality PSUs that will do the job

Thanks i dont want to risk anything, ill wait and buy a Corsair vs 550 series or a nice XFX TS 550 GOLD CERTIFIED and then put the card in.

I'd recommend staying away from corsair especially if you have access to an xfx. The xfx PSU you've mentioned would be great for that GPU

Better not risk it, you're smart. Buy the XFX.

EVGA has cards just a little more expensive but only 300W minimum requirement. And more power full.

An EVGA GTX 750ti should run in your system on it's existing GPU, models 3751 or 3753.
