Need help psu

[GreenRhinos]

Just ordered an Asus Rog Rx 470 strix oc edition and was wondering if my Asus m32cd stock psu would be fine powering it. If not what is the cheapest psu I can go that will be compatible with this graphics card and am pretty sure the psu in my system is 350w

here's your answer, and he's installing a much lower powered GFX card https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzrGWNnZSWI

Have a look for a decent 600w PSU, dont get something cheap, they dont come with the protection built in, so if they blow, they stand a good chance of taking other things out with them.

Graphics cards can easily pull 150w on there own out of your PSU.

You want a decent 450w - 550w , that has a 6 pin PCIE connection.

Imo the brands that provide pre built PCs don't have good power supplies but that's for a cause ofcourse since they don't usually have GPUs. However the Asus site is not working for me so I can't tell. 350w is not going to be safe to put with it. Anything like a Corsair CX 500 will do, or SeaSonic || 520w.

Will a 500w evga power supply be good?

Yes would do the job but not my preference. Get one of the ones that I suggested.
