Will my GFX Card fit my PSU

[Fidycent]

I was wondering will it fit my psu..

CURRENT RIG:

Pašreizējā sistēma
AMD Phenom II X4 965
ASRock 970 Extreme3
2x4gb Kingston hyper PC3-10700 667mhz
Nvidia GeForce GT 240
XILINCE Redwing Series 500W R3
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200


Video card that i want: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTX650TIBDC2OC2GD5/#specifications

Used online calculators and wattage went from 300-650..

yes. not a great PSU but it will be ok.

 

[laviniuc]

the psu should be able to supply enough power. it's cutting it too close for my taste though

 

[LordPonce]

If you have a 6 pin power connector, you should be fine

 

[chimera201]

No. It does not have PCIe 6 pin connectors

 

[laviniuc]

you can use a molex to 6pin adapter. most gpu will come with on in the box.

That cheating can be done only if u know its a good psu. The 420W model only delivers 80%

The 500W model seems to be dodgy

get a gtx 760 2gb, its not powerful enough to use the total 4 gb

at worse it will be a bit unstable and he gets a new psu too after that if he has issues. but the psu should be ok to drive the gtx650

nice find. however a 650boost won't run a rig higher than ~250 watts.

Uhm, lookin at images n stuff it takes 2x 4 pins to get 6 pin, i got 2 free 4 pins, so that should work?

ya know -maybe you should just get this:

[laviniuc]

as i said above, you wont know until you try - it's close but should work. get the video card, plug it and if the system is unstable while gaming you can always revert back to the 240 and get also a psu upgrade.

Newegg doesnt ship to EU, im from Latvia, so my options are pretty limited.


Wow, misspelled ship to shi*... Sorry

I said the 500W model appears to be dodgy because i can't find the combined amperage on +12V rail(It has 2 +12V rails). So worst case it might even explode.

So thats it, it simply knocks out? Will it kill rest of my pc or just the PSU? I was afraid if it does that i might have to get a whole new pc, and my new video card would be good for 10 minutes...

It might be a 400W psu but usually psu's like these have bad capacitors and capacitors age over time and it will shutdown or explode after months of heavy load. They must have tested on a new stock psu. An old one wouldn't even withstand i guess 200W

Yes. It's best to buy a decent quality psu. U don't have to buy an 80+ Platinum or 80+Gold psu. U can just buy a cheap decent 80+certified psu. U will also get better performance and lower temperatures with a decent psu

Im on a really tight budget, stuff here costs like 1.5 it does on newegg..

caps don't age but they do dry out from heat. hey, at least it has PFC.

actually thats the 420 but the same OEM.

and you know the OCP works if it shut down - so no explodie!

but btw, i did suggest a very budget oriented rosewell stallion before . . . 😉

Paying that should be no problem, but as i mentioned its on newegg, im from EU, isnt possible to ship and here it would cost me around 70$
