[SOLVED] Guys Will My PSU Support GTX 750ti???! Please Reply quickly as I need to Buy it before it SELLS OUT!!!

[HeyIt'sElCHeapo]

Hi Everyone!
So I got this used AMD PC for 44 dollars and I want to upgrade my graphics card.

MY SPECS:
FOXCONN ALOE 1.01 MOTHERBOARD
AMD Phenom X4 910 2.6 GHz
8GB RAM DDR3
NVIDIA GT 330 1GB DDR3 (POWER REQUIREMENT 75 WATTS)
300 WATT BESTEC PSU (19amps on the 12v rail)
250GB SAMSUNG HDD


I am thinking of buying a gtx 750 ti for 66 dollars but am confused if my power supply can handle the card.
Also it is the 2GB DDR5 card with no 6-pin connector

Welcome to the forums my friend!

Will it technically run? Probably.
Is it a good idea? Probably not.

750Ti is a wonderful lower GPU, but those low end PSUs are not really made for any discrete GPU. Otherwise it could risk instability or damage to other components.

I wouldn't use that BESTEC PSU on any gaming PC, let alone with the GTX 750 Ti. Please get a compatible high-quality PSU. Do not take any risk.

PSU is the MOST important component.

What If I opted for the gt 1030. I heard it has similar specs to the gtx 750 ti?

The GT 1030 is an entry-level GPU. Specs are different for the GTX 750 Ti.

Doesn't matter what GPU you use.
A poor quality PSU is a poor quality PSU

The Gt1030 uses less power albeit.

It will be the same as my original point, will it run the 750Ti? Probably yes.
Just is it a good idea - probably not!

Be careful who you buy used parts from. It won't hurt to ask here about the item you have in mind.
Ebay, for example, has a few fake 750Tis lurking around...
