Hello!
I am looking to upgrade my pc by adding a decent GPU. However, i noticed that this pc only has a 300W PSU. Some other specs are: I5-3470, HDD sata 500gb disk, and 8GB RAM. I was looking at the low-power version of the 950 (no 6-pin, just the PCIe power), which stated it needed a PSU of 350W. Can i just risk it and try this 950, or is it better to just get a new PSU altogether and a different GPU? (don't really know if the 950 is decent anyway, is the 1050TI an option too?)
TLDR; Does my 300W make the cut for a 350W required card? or is there a better card that can run at a PSU of 300W?
thanks,
Ward
