Hi,

I have a HP Envy 700-215xt.

Specs: i7 4770 / 1 Stick of 8GB Ram @1600mhz / SATA3 1To Harddrive / A 300W PSU, Which is this one : http://postimg.org/image/3u5h2a9kz/

Can somebody just confirm If I can go with this graphics card, Its a Galax GeForce GTX 750 Ti. and the minimum power supply is 300W which is I have, will I encounter any problems?

your cpu will be slightly bottlenecked by that lower end gpu. I would upgrade power supply to something in the 500w range, and get a gtx 950 or 960... you will be able to do this if you just save up a bit more money, or if you already have it! Hope this helps!

I would spend the $30 more and get the 960, as it will be an even better experience for you with that cpu you have that is really good! Hope this helps!

Thanks for your quick replies, but unfortunatly I live in Tunisia and Amazon / Newegg can't deliver anything over here :/

The only available thing I can afford right now is a GTX 750 Ti, in addition to the fact that I don't wanna lose my warranty if I change my power supply.

Can you give me links to the best GPU I can get ? I can't pick the right one, Galax, ASUS, MSI, EVGA...

unfortunately on the website is says that you need to have a 400w power supply or greater. There isnt much on the market that is around the 300w range, the only thing I can think of is a gtx 750. most models do not even require a pci-e connector so that is the only thing that you really could get unless you upgrade your power supply. I would also suggest looking on ebay then, for an ebay sale that is a bit closer to you and the shipping charges hopefully wont be too crazy.

Doesn't require any addition power connectors.

I mean seriously, CPU + Mobo / Fans / RAM & HDD. = 84W + 100W
=190W.
Current system usage + GPU
190+ 60W
=250W.
And I have 300W
it seems like My PSU will meets the requirements if we calculate it that way =/ Can you explain why it won't work ? sorry i'm a nub.

go to cooler master power supply calculator and see what it says... It might be ok

Ok I just calculated it. you should be ok. you probably wont have any room to overclock the gpu, but I wouldnt do that anyways with the system you have. I would go for it!
