Want to upgrade my graphic card and PSU

[aneeshcarvalho]

hi guys,

I want to upgrade my PC with a GeForce 750 ti or GeForce 750 ti OC 2 gb card.
My current system specs are:
Intel core i5 650 @ 3.2 ghz
Intel DH55TC motherboard
8GB Ram 1333 hz
400 watt Mercury PSU
GeForce 610 2gb graphic card.

Could you please help me out. Will any of these 2 graphic cards work and what PSU do I use of which brand?

Thanks.

Yes both will work on your rig. And what amperage (should be on a sticker on the PSU) is you current PSU? You can run either card on a 300W decent quality PSU, they're low power consumers. Maybe even your current PSU is good enough to run either GPU.

But does any of these graphic cards require another power connector or a connection to the motherboard other than inserting it into the slot?
On the PSU sticker, under AC input it says 220V, 4A Current, 50 Hz Frequency.

I took a photo of the sticker but am not able to attach it here.

The PSU model is Mercury KEZ-M200, ATX Switching Power Supply-400W

No, neither of them require power connectors. Also, you have to upload pic to a hosting site like Imgur or Tinypic and link it here.

Sure..

Pretty tight. 18A on 12v line equate to 216w of current. And putting the fact that it's low quality into perspective, I'd get a new one. EVGA/ Corsair/ Xfx/ Seasonic/ antec are good brands for getting a psu from. I'd go for EVGA 430w or Corsair 430w or antec vp450 assuming you're on a budget.

Cool. Will the corsair VS 450W be enough? Or the corsair CX 430W? Also, How do i know whether this PSU will fit in my case?

 

[MeteorsRaining]

The PSU you currently have is standard size, and all the ones I recommended are standard ATX size and will fit. Avoid VS, go for CX, it's a bit better than VS.

Buddy,

These are the 2 antec PSU that i found, is it the same one that you mentioned?

Also, my PSU is located at the top of my PC case, not at the bottom, as is the case with most PC's, will it make a difference?
I want to place an order for it, which one should I go for?

Thanks for all your help.

Yes both the links you mentioned have the same psu, get the cheaper one. And it'll fit in the case.
