Can this Generic PSU handle GTX 1050 ?

[Omar Sayeem]

Hi there. I have an i5 3470 @ stock (77w) paired with R7 240 2GB DDR3 (45w) and 8GB DDR3 1333 Mhz ram.The GPU is also overclocked , 30% to be exact. I'm thinking about replacing it with a GTX 1050 Mini 2GB (75w). I don't think there will be any problem because it's just 30w more. So will I be fine ? Here's the pic of the 400w generic PSU : https://imgur.com/gPtzFni

I wouldnt use that really... PSU is most important piece of the PC. Invest in it.

But I have an extremely low budget. Can I atleast use this PSU temporarily ? I will change 2-3 months later.

Go for a decent 500W psu there plenty of good high quality units floats round for $50 with tight budgets I always invest in Brand new PSU its piece of mind as if your generic blows it will under the extra load you can potientally fry your build. I advise new PSU $60 with rebate depending where in the world with a 1050 for withen a few $ is peace of mind. Trust me from experience, lesson learnt for repowers & rebuilds on a Buget I always factor in a Brand new PSU.

No, don't use that PSU.

It's only 270W if it can even handle that.

So you're saying that my PSU can't even handle 270w ?

It's a generic unit so I would doubt it.
