Question Is 350w power supply enough for GTX 780?

[Jamppandeerus]

So I had an idea to buy an used gtx 780. i have a almost 7 year old 350w power supply, would 350w be enough?

Other specs:
I5-3350p 3.10ghz
1x8GB Ram
1TB hard drive

NO. A minimum 600 Watts PSU is recommended. And that too, yours is also 7 years old.

No, you'll need a new PSU.

No, you'll need a new PSU.

Yeah that is what i thought, i'm gonna probably buy a 620w psu.

 

[bignastyid]

A good quality 550w psu would be enough.

No way , you have to change the psu. Maybe look for a gtx 1650 if dont want to upgrade the psu.

Quality is equally important to wattage, make sure it’s a good unit

Ensure we look for higher standard certification on the PSU. I learned that the hardway. I had everything under the proper wattage, and still with a new CPU I saw the whole thing fry. Not good.

The 780 is an old card. I'd pair thith something like an RX 570. It's one of the best value options on the new market. It also has half the TDP, 120w.
Still, a 350w psu is rather a gamble. Get a quality psu, don't cut corners. Those pass the $80-90 mark, but you should get 10 years warranty here.
