So I've been searching around on Google (there you go, I searched. So no critisizing saying I didn't try first!) and I have not found a solid answer and am getting mixed feelings. To set the record straight I figured I would seek advice.
I have a 220w power supply. Just buy reading that you may know that a graphics card is almost impossible to add to my computer. I thought about investing in a new power supply, but there is no professional ones available. I do have the option to buy a custom made power supply that is specifically built for my computer but I don't know if I want to risk my computer trying that. After some searching, I found that obviously some GPUs do not require an external power source and get power from the motherboard. My question is if I was to buy a graphics card, for example a GTX 750ti, would it be OK on my computer because the graphics card has no external power cord and my power supply is 220? Or would I still need a bigger power supply even though the card gets power through the motherboard? And would it be safe considering the minimum specs say 300w minimum or would I need to find a smaller card?
Thank you to anyone whom helps me with this question!
