So I recently bought a new budget gaming computer off tigerdirect (heres a link: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2546170&pagenumber=10&RSort=1&csid=ITD&recordsPerPage=5&body=REVIEWS#CustomerReviewsBlock) And although everything is working fine on it, I quickly discovered that I wanted to upgrade the GPU to play some higher end games with no issues. I had a friend recommend this graphics card and so I ordered it. EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock. Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IDG3IDO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It hasn't arrived yet, but I've started wondering if my current PCU will support it. I have a TurboLink ATX-TL500W-BK 12V. The card says it only requires 300W to run, but from what I've read thats not the only thing to consider when buying a new card. Also, if its even remotely close, I'd just assume upgrading to 750W or so to be safe. I'm pretty new to this stuff so any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks
 


That was the conclusion I was beginning to realize about my PSU. I'll definitely look into your suggested one. Thanks a lot!
