[SOLVED] MSI GeForce GTX 1050 2GB Gaming X| Can I run it?

[srigleykeegan]

Hello! I am looking into the MSI GeForce GTX 1050 2GB Gaming X (Found for a great price) but I am not sure if I can run it. I have a 255W 80 Plus Gold PSU, and currently have a ATI Radeon 4550 HD. It does require the 6 pin connector from the PSU. I am not sure if I have that. Also will the PSU run it.

It says it needs 75 watts to run at maximum. I will only be running GTA 5, so I will not need that much. My current card (Found online, not sure if its right) One site says 25W the other says 129W.

So if you could tell me if I can run this, it would be appreciated.

you will need a new psu to support that card.

What Wattage should I get?

what is your case?
budget and country?
450+ good quality is recommended, but 550 is even better for potential upgrade to RTX 2080ti in the future.
what cpu do you have?

Check your case dimension, I suspect the current psu is proprietary, so make sure new unit fits...
