Graphics Card & Power Supply

[Aboode]

Hello everyone,

 

I recently bought a new graphics card which is the (MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G) and was wondering if I will run into a problem having this power supply (GIGABYTE SUPERB GE-P450P-C2) , do I need to upgrade it? And what am I looking for in a new power supply (with details please)?

 

Thanks a lot.

Well Thanks but I'm little confused now because others say it's not enough.

Is it possible to just buy a PCI power connector and plug in into the 8pins?

80+Bronze would be the minimum for "high-end" hardware, but 80+ is fine for your needs unless of course you're looking to overhaul your build in the future

You'll probably need something right around 650w-750w

You can choose any PSU you want as long as it fits your price point or budget

an 8 pin is a pci power connector  so no

an EVGA GS 550w is perfect
