Don't worry about it

hello,

so I bought a prebuilt pc for 90 bucks only and it has an fx 6300 and 8gb of ram .

The psu is a 350w lc power lc420-12 v2.31 and here is the link for the specs http://www.lc-power.com/en/product/netzteile/standard/lc420-12-v231/

I first wanted to get a gtx 950 since It's the same price as a 750 ti in Germany but I was told that the psu has only +12v1 11A (or something like that) 

and the 950 ti needs atleast 24 so I don't know..
is it true that it wont work and if not what about the 750 ti ? (I was told it should run just fine)

You should look at one of these maybe that require motherboard power and not external 6 or 8 pin.

Oh so if it doesn't have a 6 pin connector then it should work just fine ?
same thing with a gtx 1050 2gb ?

It should, although you might want to do a little more research before hand

 

I used to have a 750ti that drew power from the motherboard in a pre built with 220w of power and it worked out great.

yeah I mean I know that the 750 ti should work
but I'm wondering about the 950 
it seems that most of the 950 cards have a 6 pin connector but the 1050 do not.

would you say that a 1050 should work like a 750 ti ?

Anything that doesn't have a 6pin and draws from the motherboard should work.

A 1050 will do fine as it only requires a 300w power supply. If youre interested in spending a bit more then you can get a 1050ti which has the same minimum power supply requirement

ok but the 12A trail and 24A trail thingy doesn't matter if the graphics card has no 6 pin connector right ?
