Will this work with 300w?

[FuriousGamer]

I am buying a new graphics card for my pc that has a 300w psu and i cant find anywhere what the minimum requirements are.

the cars is:
EVGA GTX 750 FTW GAMING ACX Cooling 1GB GDDR5

300w is just enough, but you need to make sure your PSU has the required 6-pin PCIe cable the card needs for power.

Yeah the card come with the adapter for it,

Need the rest of the systems specs along with the make and model of the psu.

Adapters are usually a bad idea and not reccomended in most cases.

I agree with bignastyid, if you need to use an adapter for the card it would be worth getting a better PSU.

You can get this PSU for $16 and it would be plenty for that card, as well as have the correct PCIe power cables:

The PSU does have a six pin i just thought it would be best to use the adapter since it came with it and that PSU wont fit in my case.

Just a warning if your psu is low quality and has a weak 12v rail and you overload it it can fry the whole system. There are psus advertised as 300w that can barely put out 120w on the 12v rail and if if have one like that you will have problems. This is why I asked for full system specs. Saying it's good without any of the needed info is just wreckless.

would it be better to go with the EVGA NVIDIA GTX 750 SC instead?

Don't know still waiting for the info I asked for in my first post.

AMD Athlon 2 X2 245 2.9ghz

Not sure about the board
300w PSU

Need the make and model of the psu. 300w tells me very little I need to see its specs, specifically the 12v rail and temp rating.

Well not a lot of info available. But it has weaker 12v rails and made by an oem I've never heard of(achme). I would suggest even trying to run the 750. Here's a couple of good Season sfx psus.

Either should power a 750ti but I suggest a model that doesn't require a 6-pin connector.
