Antec Generic PSU

Hello,

 

I made my friend buy Star Citizen so that he can play with me but we got a little problem, the game doesn't load, it gets stuck in the loading screen.

 

Since the only part below the requirements are the GPU, I know that is what we need to upgrade, particularly because the game is installed on an SSD.

 

I could borrow him my GTX 660Ti but his computer has a generic Antec PSU and I'm not even sure if it has any 80+ ratings on it.

 

Since it's Antec, it should be fine even without any fancy branding right ? (If the voltage is sufficient of course)

 

The current card is an HD 5700 (pretty sure I could be more precise but it's what's written in the OS)

 

Do you think I could swap the cards without breaking mine because of a bad power supply ?

 

Thanks !

CPU : Intel Core i7 3960X, Mobo : X79-UD3, Memory : 4x4GB Vengeance Black Memory 1600MHz, GPU : Asus GTX 970 Strix, Case : Switch 810 Matte Black, Storage : 256GB Samsung 830 SSD, Seagate Barracuda 1TB, PSU : Thermaltake 750W 80+ Bronze, Displays : 3x Asus 1080p Screens, Cooling : Corsair H100i, Keyboard : Logitech G710+, Mouse : Madcat Cyborg R.A.T.7, Sound : Sennheiser HD598, V-Moda Crossfade LP, Logitech Z-5500, HMD : Oculus Rift CV1

You will have to check the serial number/voltages on the psu first.
