GeForce GTX 960, Do I have enough power?

[Grewnie]

So yeah, I am about to buy GeForce GTX 960 graphics card, but I was wondering if my current powersupply could handle it. If it can't, how much more power do i need into my system?
My currnet power supply is quite unusual, it's called: HBA005-ZA1GT 350 and it's total wattage is 286 W.

No, it's not enough. The quality is bad and so is the capacity of the PSU. Tell me your setup then I can better estimate the total power draw. Initially, your build will pull just around the 300W mark under peak load.

Here you go
Graphics card: GeForce GT 620
CPU: i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz
RAM: 6Gt
(PC Model: ASUS CM6630_CM6730_CM6830.) <- Desktop
One optical drive
6 USB ports in total

I hope that's helpful.

Yeah, I am right then. You need a new PSU. Under peak load it is possible to exceed the 300W, or 286W, indeed.

Get a 350-520W Seasonic/Antec and you are good to go.
