R7 240 Power Supply

[Jay3311]

I was wondering if a R7 240 http://www.amazon.com/MSI-R7-240-Profile-PCI-Express/dp/B00FRHIIPK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1401766944&sr=8-3&keywords=r7+240+low+profile

would run with this PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151090
I already have this PSU,It would be fine? and with the 7750 too??

Providing you haven't got a very odd and power hungry system (some system specs would help), either one should both be able to run off that power supply.

The 7750 could potentially be pushing it, as PSUs deteriorate somewhat over time, but it's also almost exactly twice as fast as the 240... Hmm. If it was me, I'd probably still opt for a 7750 (or R7-250, which is about the same power, just a newer generation card), as that PSU was actually quite well reviewed* when it came out (it can certainly put out the power it claims). Just make sure you get one of the cards that has GDDR5 VRAM, as opposed to DDR3 VRAM; the ones with GDDR5 are a lot more powerful.

I'll probably go with the r7-250, Thank you very much !
