gtx750ti PSU compatibility

[chrismtl]

I was wondering if the PSU in the image below would work with an Asus GTX750ti? I'm on a budget and would prefer not having to buy a new PSU if not needed since the one I currently have works just fine except that I'm changing my GPU.

it should work fine i think, the recomended power suply is a 450watt

What are the rest of your system specs?

Combined power on the dual 12V rails cannot (or at least should not) exceed 30A. 30x12 = 360W .... in theory.
Dynex are not a reliable brand - their PSUs are essentially junk, and can present additional hazards to your components due to their lack of protection, shoddy construction & thin gauge wiring........... they can also be a fire hazard in extreme situations.

A 750TI is a 60W card, so not too stressful to a setup and you'd probably be fine (assuming everything else is low-powered), but I wouldn't recommend it.

Any of these would be much smarter options, and cost in the $25-$40 range (depending on how you feel about rebates).
Varying quality, but they are all MUCH better than that Dynex junk.

Here's the system that I'm thinking of building and it gives you everything as well as the PSU that I was considering putting in if I were to change systems. What's your though on this PSU? I kind of like the semi-modular setup since it lets me use only what I need.

The CX450M is much better than the Dynex, but not as good as the SeaSonic I linked, which also happens to be cheaper.
The semi-modular aspect is nice & all, but not as the expense of quality.

As for your proposed build, honestly, I wouldn't build an 860K + 750TI in 2016, it's just not a very viable setup and lacks any form of upgrade path. Also, pick up a 2x4GB RAM 'kit', not individually sold modules.

*EDIT* Nevermind. Canada, we get screwed up here.

I'd look to something along these lines for $600 CAD
