Hey guys, i am planning a super cheap pc for general web browsing and video streaming, until i can put a 750ti in it, so my question is, could i overclock the gpu a bit on only a 450w psu, the cpu will be a G3258 (non O.Ced) and it will have 4gb of 1600mhz ram.


CPU Intel I7-4700MQ @2.4 ghz, turbos to 3.4 

Motherboard  whatever toshiba put in the thing

RAM 8GB 1600mhz 

GPU  Nvidia Geforce GT 740M  

Storage 750Gb 5400rpm   

Cooling  Crappy laptop fan 

Operating System  windows 8 64 bit

I wouldnt suggest it but you could probably get away with some

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

750ti should be overclockable with 450w (you probably can't get much out of it though)

Nvidia power efficiency is very good.

You won't use anywhere near 450W, so Wattage won't constrain your overclocking. I'm more interested in which power supply you have.

A 750 Ti and a 3258 won't even break 200w if if they were both overclocked to within an inch of their lives

its either going to be the Corsair VS450 or ill just spend the extra $5 and get the silverstone strider 500w

I would recommend the CX450 over the VS.

You mean the 750Ti is pretty low in regards to power consumption, overclocked or not.

You're totally fine, doubt you'd ever hit close to 400W.

NVidia in a nutshell
