PSU good for this GPU?

[ofcdan]

Currently I have 350watt power supply.
Want to upgrade to - http://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-GeForce-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-2962-KR/dp/B00T4BWGBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433810464&sr=8-1&keywords=gtx+960

Which needs a 400watt power supply (recommended)

I do not want to buy a new PSU and go through all the hassle as I have never done it before and also I was wondering if this power supply should be good

If not is there any good GPU that only needs a 350watt power supply?

Thanks

the cards power consumption is 120 watts. if nothing is overclocked in your system you can probably run it if you have a GOOD brand name psu. if its not a reputable psu manufacturer then buy a lower power card

^ whs - if youre not sure pull the side panel off your case & post the model number & also let us know what CPU you're using

More specifically, the 960 requires 400w, 20a, but that is for total system usage, not just the GPU.

Check the sticker on your PSU, if it shows only one +12v output and is 20a or more, you're OK. If it has more than one +12v output, post the brand and model and I'll check to see if I can find the combined 12v amps.

On PSUs though, go by amperage, not wattage. It's silly that wattage is still listed for recommendation because it's usually done conservatively to account for PSUs with low amperage.

PSUs with the same wattage can vary greatly in amperage.
