I need to know if a 340 Watt PSU will be at least sufficient to test an old 7800GS AGP graphics card.

I have other more powerful PSU's around, but they don't have the molex connections. The PC needs a minimum of 5 molex which includes 1 for the case fan, 2 for each HDD, 1 for the DVD, and 1 for the 7800GS. I'm not sure I want to go the molex to SATA adapter route.

Again it is just to test the7800GS for functionality, not stress test, etc.

Thank you.

Specs are:

AMD Thunderbird 1.2 GHz CPU

7800GS AGP graphics card

340 Watt PSU (Enlighten brand I think). Older of course.

Single DVD player. I disconnected the other.

Single case fan

I also disconnected the floppy as well.

384 mb of ram

Thank you very much. I did research it, but some were saying 400 plus which made no sense to me. This is exact model 7800GS that I'll be installing by the way so that is also reassuring.
