Hello,

I was wondering if I could get any help with my problem.

I have a prebuilt computer with a Nvidia geforce630, it has been very usefull for a lot of years but the gpu isn't powerfull enough to run games the way I like.

I was thinking to upgrade it with a gtx750ti.

I wanted to ask if my power supply is ready to handle that much load?

 

system specs

cpu: Core I5 3470

gpu: Nvidia GeForce gt630 OEM

Memory: 6GB of some random cheap memory

Motherboard: Packard Bell

                       -model: Imedia L4870

Psu: Look in the attached file(photo)

a 750TI takes almost no power lol, thats probably fine :)

 

 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Depends on which 750TI you are planning to get, one that is powered by the PCI-E port it should be ok.... Maybe

I believe ASUS just released a GTX 950 that doesn't require anything connected to it and runs off the PCI-E slot. It might be worth looking into that. FSP is not a bad brand of PSU however that picture doesn't say the actual wattage clear enough.

750 ti requires a 300-350watt PSU, I can't see what wattage that PSU is, but as long as it's around 300 your probably fine.
