Hi guys wondering if you can help me and please bare with me as I'm still learning the ways. I have a standard Fujitsu ESPRIMO E5731 E85+ desktop pc with 4gb of ram and a Pentium Dual Core E5700 @ 3.00GHz processor.

According to 'CanYouRunIt' my setup could hack Flight Simulator X except from the graphics card, it recommends the following.. 'Recommended: 256 MB 100% DirectX 9.0c video card (NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or better)' which to be completely honest doesn't mean much to me at the moment.

I was wondering if an ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 2 GB would do the trick?

Also the PSU on this thing is 250W max, will that be enough to handle that card with everything else?

Thanks a lot in advance for any information, it's greatly appreciated :)

As a gt 710 has less than 75W tdp,it does not need external power when plugged in,all of it is drawn from the pcie bridge.

However,i would not trust the website as they are all based on speculations and comparisons,not evidence of success.

I would however recommend a psu upgrade anyway as some have a tendency to burn out,killing all the components.
