will a 500w be enough to power a R7 265?

[crowruin]

wondering if it will be enough for this card http://www.microcenter.com/product/432839/R7-265-2GD5-OC_R7_265__2GB_GDDR5_OC_PCIe_30x16_Video_Card

this is the PSU i installed yesterday http://www.microcenter.com/product/427100/500_Watt_80_500_Watt_ATX_Power_Supply

if its not then im totally comfortable going with the Radeon 7770 Ghz Edition

Yes, 500w is plenty more than enough for that GPU.

Yes the EVGA 500W IS more than enough power the 265.

It has 40 amps on the 12v rail which is plenty for a 265.

Its more then enough no worries

Yep. You have 40a on the +12v rail and that is plenty.

ok thanks now to just find the measurements

What case will it be going in? It is a pretty small GPU so it should fit in most cases.

3.3" x 5.9" x 5.5" (H x W x L) < 500B

3.4" x 5.9" x 5.5" < HP usually has a OEM sized ATX

Should fit:

Why do you say that?

Why do you say that?

the ram cards are in the way but i found this
ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 2GB
http://www.microcenter.com/product/434087/GeForce_GTX_750_2GB its the exact same measurements as the card i have right now

It is ALOT less powerful than the 265.

Also, it should clear just fine. The GPU PCB is always VERY close to the RAM slots on OEM boards. They would never design a board where it would not work though. I'm pretty confident that a longer card will have zero issues fitting.

ill see what happens thanks for the help the ram slots are slightly below the gfx slot so it might just work

EDIT: this gtx 750 ti will fit most likely and its in my budget range http://www.microcenter.com/product/429764/02G-P4-3753-KR_NVIDIA_GeForce_GTX_750_Ti_Superclocked_2GB_GDDR5_PCIex16_29_Video_Card
