I have a pre-bought computer with a NVIDA 630 graohics card. i want to upgrade to something decent but the problem is it only has a 350W psu, Will that be able to handle the upgrade from 630 to the 7770? Thanks alot!

no.

You'd have to upgrade the psu as well.

[MCmcginness]

no.

how much would i need to make the jump, and will the prebuild case even allow me to upgrade?

no.

I like your answer, quick and to the point. :D

How many Watts do you guys think i would need ?

You might just be able to get away with a 400w. But i'd go for a minimum of 500w. This psu would be pretty good: :) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Bronze-Supply/dp/B009RMP2VE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370009366&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+500w

There's a semi modular version of that same power supply aswell: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Modular-Certified/dp/B00ALK1GFC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1370009366&sr=8-2&keywords=corsair+500w

and the G card and power supply would work in a prebuilt case?

i had the same problem, i had to buy a new case and a new power suply to upgrade my gpu so what to do?

 

measure the space you have for the power supply or simple check in the computer specs if its an atx psu, in case that it is any atx psu will fit

 

then go to the 7770 web and check the measures and compare to the free space in your case

 

any 550w to 600w psu will be able to hable almost every single card (not sli or crossfire)

 

i recomend you to buy a good quality psu and also to buy a new case, just to inform, my video card temps went donw 13ºC just by simple changing the case and now with my new psu im runing 4 fans instead of 1 so it went down 18ºC!!!

I would say yes, but what's the rest of the specification? A 7770 is a <100w card.

 

If you are going to buy a new PSU anyways, why not get this instead? It's about the same price.

That's a really nice offer.

A 350W PSU can handle a 7770 no problem. But not a cheap-ass one like the ones they put into these prebuilt units. I still have mine home from the upgrade. You can smell smoke from it but it wasn't used for a year.

A Seasonic G360 should be able to handle your rig, but I can't find any information about what procesor you're using.

A case is also an amazing upgrade. I moved my PC form the stock HP case to a Define R3 and it really made it at least a bit nice.
