Will a 300w PSU Handle Sapphire AMD HD7750 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card?

[Ingigo]

I'm going to buy Sapphire AMD HD7750 1GB DDR5 but I have a 300w PSU. My budget is £70 so I can't buy a PSU. I was just wondering if a 300w could handle it
My PC Specs is
CPU:Intel Core i3
GPU:Intel Hd Graphics
RAM:6gb
This is the link to the graphics card
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-HD7750-Retail-PCI-E-Graphics/dp/B00761YFPW/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1385059475&sr=1-1&keywords=7750
I am also going to use it for recording videos, Cinema 4D and Sony Vegas with it so please tell, it is near Christmas!!!!

300w is very very low and i don't even know where you can buy such low PSU's at hehe. I would say buy atleast 600w with minumum 42a in the 12v section. You can also on you www.hwcompare.com and check everything you need to know about the grahic card's texel rate, pixel rate and how much W it requires

Rediculous suggestion for someone running a 7750!

Seasonic has a pile of 300 watt power supplies for low powered systems(as do many power supply makers).

While getting a 600 watt power supply does not hurt anything(but maybe a bit of efficiency). Some users do not want to upgrade if they do not need to.

I mean my 300 watt power supply(22amps @ 12 volts) in my 24/7 media center system just keeps on going with its i7 750 + 650 ti without any issues. It is also not like the system takes that much power. 40 watts or so at idle and 140-150 for most games 180 watts is about the most I can get it to pull at the wall.

@ joshuabg you would have to give much more detail than 250 watts and what other hardware it is running.

I have a dell Inspiron 620s slim tower

I got it in late 2011

I think it has a 250 watt psu
Intel i5 2310
AMD Radeon 6450
1tb samsung hd 7200 rpm
8gb of ddr3 ram (2 slots of 4gb)
A writable and readable DVD drive
A dell media ports (like USB, headphone jack, sd card)
ports on back
Also has some pcie slots full
I have a tp link wireless card


Hope this helps

Hi - You would need to furnish the +12v amps from the PSU as nuke suggested, to determine if the 250 in the PC is sufficient. Yes, a decent quality 300w PSU will run that system with a 7750 comfortably. That PSU is not a std
ATX (as you probably can tell from the slim case), but a TFX size. There are several decent TFX 300-350w PSU's avail from ~ $28 - $62 if you feel you want to upgrade anyway.

I don't believe there are any decent TFX form factor PSU's currently available greater than 350w.

Personally, I think your sys will run a 7750 with your 250psu, but if you do upgrade,
I would choose Seasonic vs FSP.

What would happen if i put a new 7750 in and it over loads my psu
Just want to know worst case scenario
I sometimes max out my computer
I can have a server and a heavy game running and the sametime
disk and cpu is at 100%

Hi - Dell usually provides decent (albeit low power) PSU's in their systems, so if the PSU were to become
too stressed it should shut down with no damage to your system.

However, now that I see you multitask & game simultaneously, you should upgrade the PSU if you can afford to do so.

So i can can get the 7750 and it will draw about 20 watts more
and get a 300 watt power supply to be safe

can someone pick out a good psu and 7750 for under $140

OK is that graphics card low profile and fit into my slim tower case?

I'm fine with ordering from new egg if shipping isn't to high

Oops - forgot the LP, will run approx $8 more:
The only LP that will keep the pair under $140 is out of stock:

You might check with them on in stock,

Prices jump considerably after this.

Avail at Amazon - but pricey:

I happily ran a HD7750 for a year in my old system - Q8200, 4 GB (4x1GB) DDR2 ram, DVDrw, SDD, HDD and with an external USB 3.0 HDD powered by a PCIe card - all in a Dell 545s studio slim with it's 300W PSU. Recently upgraded to an XPS 8500 so machine has been relegated to light duties from the gaming I used it for. So given as the i3 is a much lower-powered CPU than the 95w Q8200 I think you'll be fine.
