Will a 300 Watt power supply get the job done with a i7 6700 and GTX 960?

I have a GTX 745 & a i7 6700 but only a 300 watt power supply.

What brand is the PSU? I wouldn't trust it. So that's a no from me.

If it's from a pre-built computer, I guess it is because of the gtx 745, only on OEM systems, buy a new psu and then the gpu

I have not opened the computer, its for a friend, it is an HP but I don't know the power supply.

Hold up, What is the current CPU in his PC? If he wants the i7 then he'll need a new motherboard

I have a GTX 745 & a i7 6700 but only a 300 watt power supply.

It's enough in terms of rated wattage, however 300W in a prebuilt PC is often an exaggeration. I'd get a new PSU. A Corsair CX450M isn't crazy expensive and would work much better for you.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

No, there is an i7 6000 with a GTX 745.

He won't be able overclock the CPU in the first place because the PC is from HP.

HP motherboards use proprietary power connectors that only their PSUs have.

Time to get a new motherboard and PSU then.
