Can my PSU handle it?

[SerbianGuy211]

I currently have
AMD Athlon X4 750K Quad Core 3.4ghz
8GB DDR3 RAM
AMD RADEON R7 250 MSI OC 1GB EDITION
MSI FM2-A55M-E33 MOTHERBOARD

i want to buy GTX 660 MSI OC 2GB EDITION
could my PSU handle it
my PSU says:

EE-ATX-500W-IR
AC INPUT: 200-240V
DC OUTPUT: +12V +5V +3,3V -12V +5Vsb
18A 36A 28A 0,8A 2A

would it be able to handle the gtx 660?

Yes, it will

 

[SerbianGuy211]

Yes, it will

Thanks for the answer.
If anybody could confirm may he do so.

I wouldn't trust it to run any system , and to add a card , it's not a good PSU.

That PSU seems pretty sketchy / is quite possibly a bad brand. I cant read the language on some of these sites but I do see number's saying 200w

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Spire is a very poor brand.

Maybe poor, but it's still 500w so he can run it np

Just because the label says 500W doesn't mean anything. Companies lie all the time.

It does, my brother owns one

It's not a good PSU , VERY POOR.

Will it run it probably , for how long , probably not very long.

The question was "Can it handle"
So, It's answered

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I wrote probably , not yes.

A 500w with no PCIE connections tells you quality is seriously lacking.

24pin ATX, 2x 4pin molex, 2x sata, 1x floppy.

And I doubt your brother loads it to 500W. It probably doesn't even have a freaking PCIe cable. Then if crappy molex converters are used the molex cables probably use too thin of wiring which can burn up or the contacts may be cheaply made and melt.

Please listen to SR-71 he knows his stuff. Will it run it possibly, is it worth it no.. crappy PSU's like that are known to fry other components, damage them over time, or blow out taking other hardware with them.

 

[SerbianGuy211]

It ran my AMD Radeon R7 250 OC 1GB GDDR5 good for this time. I bought it prebuilt from the same website SR-71 posted link to (It is a Serbian tech shop, i guess SR-71 is from Serbia too) and why shall it not?

He has and older PC, and this gpu isn't that new either. In most cases the older gpu's have higher TDP.
My bro is running a GTX 560, and he isn't suffering any problems

A PSU doesn't just work or not work. It can decrease the lifespan of your hardware if it has poor electrical performance. Your brother's PC in this case wouldn't bring it near 500W.

Oh, okay thanks for the advice!
