Is my graphics card compatible to my power supply?

[OldMacUser]

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

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.

I agree with the guy above me, it might work but it can't be garuenteed, I would reccomend a psu upgrade aswell, I found a 600 watt power supply for 50$ with a 20$ rebate, if I were you I'd go for it if you have the cash. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028&cm_re=Cx600-_-17-139-028-_-Product

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

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

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.

A 750ti overpowering an R7 360? Maybe a 780 could.
