Planning an upgrade.

[SharpshooterJP]

Im thinking of installing either a gtx 960 or gtx 1050 in my current pc. But am facing 2 problems, I only have a micro atx case and i have a power supply that i dont trust. More on the power supply, well its running my whole pc well i suppose but I cant get enough details about it, I dont even know its power output. It goes with the name of "KMT Power PSU 750W" and i doubt thats its really 750w. What power supply could i get and what do i look out for if i choose to buy used?

Go for the 1050 or 1050ti if you can swing it. If you don’t trust that PSU then you can look for something with an 80+ bronze or higher with at least 500 watts. Make that your base line.

If you buy used then buy from eBay from a seller with many positive ratings. And eBay has a good amount of buyer protection if you get a lemon.

Star by listing your full PC specs. Then we can advise a suitable PSU.

The model you have listed does not exist. If you can, take off the side panel on your PC (when it's turned off) and take a picture of the label on the side of the PSU, this will tell us the brand and model.

On the GPU, you could get this:

You should be fine with a GTX 1050 since it is rated for less than 75w and can be powered over a PCIE slot. Even with the 960w you should be fine since full system since a 450w PSU is more than enough with one. If it were me I would replace that PSU. I have seen KMT power supplies before and they look questionable and I doubt they can run at rated wattage.

Yeah, id stick with the 1050 for that system. The A8 7650k isn't the best, so putting anything stronger in there will be a waste.

The PSU is junk. I can only find one review for the same unit (although a different no-name branding). It would hardly give 350w and anything beyond shut it down.

A PSU like this would do fine:
