GPU compatible with my PSU?

[nthom]

Will my PSU: https://bulk.fsp-europe.com/fsp460-60hcn be compatible to run the gtx 770 4gb?

The 12v efficiency is around 400w on that unit. It is also a very low quality PSU. NVidia recommends 600w for the 770. You need to be atleast above 550w. Get a better PSU above 550w. Corsair CX/CXM/TXM, Seasonic S12II/M12II/Focus are cheap and reliable units that you can find around. Or use this Tier list... https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

Per nVidia the GTX 770 requires a 600W PSU.

I also wouldn't recommend FSP. What is your budget?

The FSP is my PSU at the moment. I'm using an office pc with an i3 3240, i want to upgrade it for some gaming. I had a budget of £100 for the GPU, i saw that the gtx 770 has similar performance to the gtx 1050ti. Any suggestions of a different GPU or another solution? thanks for the advice so far tho

You can get a 1050...

460w should be sufficient for this, but thats not a very good unit and personally I wont trust my brand new card on that. When a low quality PSU smokes, it can potentially damage other components.

Hey im currently looking at a low cost 2nd hand GPU to turn my office PC into doing some light gaming. Will the R9 285 work with my components? My CPU is the i3 3240. thanks for any help!

If you selected a BA in this thread, why did you open another thread on the same subject?

Considering you have an FSP with a lower end 3240, I don't why you are worried about getting a great GPU. Super higher end cards won't work as well in your system. You picked the 1050 as a BA in this thread, it performs slightly better than the 285. It does use a lot less power for sure. With a 460W PSU I'd pick the 1050 over the 285.
