Wanting to upgrade. Currently have a gt 640, was building on a budget when I first set this up.
My setup

MSI Z87-G41 pc mate motherboard
corsair cx500

Not sure what else would be needed to answer this question. Thanks for any and all replys
 
Solution
You should be fine given you have a 500w PSU....have a look at the specs of the GTX950 to confirm its power rating but I would have expected it to be less than your previous card to be honest.

Thanks for the replys, yea, i ended up looking around and found the 6 pin connector hidden underneath some of the others, and from what i seen on the specs of the GTX950, its a 90w, whereas mine is only 65w. But after a little guts and a "screw it" mentality, i went ahead and ordered it. thanks again for the help
