My old card which is the GeForce 9500 GT died on me yesterday so I I was thinking of replacing it with GeForce GT 740 but do you think it is capable of running it with my pc's power supply?

Here's the specs of my pc though:
Aspire 600W power supply
ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 AM3
1TB HDD
AMD Athlon II X2 240
2x 4GB DDR2 RAM

Here's the voltages and current of my power supply:
+5V-25A, +3.3V-25A, +12V1-15A, +12V2-18A, -12V-0.5A, +5VSB-2.5A

The specs of my computer may be old but I also plan on upgrading my processor soon though.

Thats the default power consumption that your board PCI-E will provide and it does not need any additional PCIe power required
so as i mentioned you are good to go
but if you really need to gaming...

Oh I see but this is the exact video card that i'll replace anyway: https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/GT740OC2GD5/overview/

it says in the specs that its power consumption will be 75W but not sure about the amperage that is needed so you think I can still run it? It also specifies that it doesn't required an additional PCIe power so its much better because my power supply doesn't have that kind of connector with it.

but if you really need to gaming go for 1050ti or atleast 1050
