My graphics card I plan to get (GTX 750 ti) says it needs a 400 watt supply, but my CPU uses 25 watts normally and 75 watts under full load. The GTX 750 ti uses 60 watts under full load. I already have a 350 watt supply though. Just trying to save some money.
 
Solution
A 750 ti should run on a 350watt psu assuming its halfway decent and can actually provide 350watts. Make sure you get a 750 ti that gets its power from the pcie slot, some require a 6pin pcie cable which your psu may not have.
