Is a 320W PSU enough to run the Msi geforce N750TI-2GD5/OCV1??

Solution


Your current PSU will run the card as I don't think it requires extra power but if you want to get a PSU that has a PCI-E power cable for the future then upgrade your PSU. For me its always about future proofing if I have the money to do it. 😀
I would recommend upgrading your PSU to something that is better build something like a 400-450watt for corsair, you can get a 430watt PSU from Corsair for £39 or $49-$54 this will allow you to upgrade your CPU if needed in the future. The extra wattage will allow plenty of head room for your motherboard, CPU and other powered devices in your system. You can never have enough power :)

Hope this helps 😀
 


My specs are:
intel core i7 870 @2.93 GHz
12 gb ram ddr3
Seagate ST3500418AS 500 GB HDD
 


Yes they do make good PSU but if he had the money he should really go with something that is better and more power for when and if he wants to upgrade anything in the future. If you has little budget then stick with that PSU but if you have some extra cash then get a PSU with a a little more power. Always handy plus the Corsiar CX430 is 80 PLUS bronze efficient so you will get fairly clean power and no or very little waste

Already picked it

 

I would gladly trade most of the unnecessary headroom for higher quality components and higher efficiency. Unfortunately, nobody makes reasonably priced high quality 250W power supplies because there is not enough demand to get manufacturing volume up and prices down, so people end up buying cheaper lower quality 400-700W PSUs instead even when they only need 150-200W.

With Kaby Lake and Polaris/Pascal this year, even enthusiast-class systems will be well under 300W excluding multi-GPU setups and unnecessary accessories.
