Hey, so I'm a begginer in all of these commuter stuff and upgrading. So i got a new computer which has everything except a wi-fi adapter and a graphics card.

Therefore, I decided to buy a new graphics card, which is AMD Radeon R7 360 (link with more info: http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-r7-360-2gb.html) also there is a long which states that it requires 1 x 6-pin power connector (link: http://www.trustedreviews.com/amd-radeon-r7-360-review) .

Also my power supply is EPS-650W (link with it's features: http://www.inter-tech.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=615%3Aenergon-eps-650w&catid=125%3Aausland-atx-Power%20supplye&Itemid=542&lang=en).

So I need to know if I'm going to be able to connect the graphics card to a my power supply. Am i going to be able to do that? Please help
 
Solution
Power supply has a 6+2 pin PCIe connector. It can power your card.

However, it's not the greatest quality. I would recommend a PSU upgrade.

I recommend the Cooler Master V series, Corsair RM/RMi/RMx series and the EVGA SuperNOVA G2/GS/P2/T2 series of power supplies. 550-600 watts will be plenty for an R7 360 and a single CPU.

Corsair CX series is low quality. Meant for entry level machines with low power draw.
 


It's much better than what he's got :/
 


Point taken
 
You can get a 750 ti. There are variants that don't require external power connectors. They also slightly edge out the AMD gpu you mentioned.
