Question Will this power supply support my graphics card?

[ScreamX]

well..i am planning to buy a new graphics card GTX 1660...and i am having a 750Watt power supply..but when i searched on the internet.. i found that people are saying that it gets burned at 500watt and so it should be labeled as a 475watt power supply...the recommended power supply for my graphics card is 450Watt..so what should i do?will this be enough or should i upgrade the power supply?it is CoolMax cul-750B

Unfortunately that power supply has really bad reviews, I wouldn't connect it to any computer you care about.

well..could you please recommend me a better PSU which is better and in the same time not expensive?

What are the rest of the specs on the PC ?

 

[ScreamX]

well..my motherboard is: intel extreme board dz77re-75k
Graphics card: Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 Gaming OC (x3windblades)
Ram:16GB Ram DDR3
Porceesor:it is Core i7 but idk which generation etc.. as i can't open the pc without a GPU
Hard Disk:WD Blue 1T

Gigabyte recommended minimum is 450 watts, if you plan on overclocking at all you should go with at least a decent 500 watt.

Are you in the US ?

A Corsair CX 550 would be the least expensive PSU worth considering. Why can't you start the PC without a GPU? There are only four Sandy Bridge i7s that run on a Z77 motherboard (3770, 3770K, 3770T, 3770S) and all of them have integrated graphics, meaning you can run your PC if your monitor is connected to the motherboard outputs.

well..actually i didn't know that at all..thanks for that information! i am going to test it right now.(btw..is the integrated graphics card able to run a game suck as league of legends or something like that without problems? or is it too weak,sorry..i am kinda newbie?)
Edit:I can use GTX 1660 on that motherboard right?

1660 will work on that motherboard, as long as it fits in your case.

Gaming in internal graphics, Windows includes Solitaire Card game, that's about it.

Unless you want to make changes to the game files...

well..i think i am facing a big problem here...when i tried to start the PC...it didn't boot and then gave a beep sound and an EB error on the motherboard..can someone help me with that?

 

[Wrecker75]

From intel site, the EB is either "Calling Legacy Option ROMs" or "Calling Video BIOS". http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-025434.htm
I think you may try to recovery BIOS by remove the jumper. Here is how to http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-023360.htm

OP does the MB have the UEFI BIOS or the Legacy? Also did you try to boot the PC with onboard iGPU to see what happens?

If you can boot the PC with onboard iGPU, then check the BIOS version. I guess your problem related to the BIOS.
