what does the power supply wattage have to be?

I am actually using a 300w PSU and everything works just fine for the past week (i7-4770, 8G ram, two HDs). But don't try to take my word and keep a 300w psu for long bc it's supposed to be dangerous to your equipment. I've ordered a 500W PSU and will replace as soon as it arrives.

i ordered a 600w for mine since i needed it to power my processor and the vnidia gtx 650

The box says 400W or greater, with 12V 20 Amps. Mine is 430W with 12V 17 Amps. It seems to work fine, but if you have the choice, go with one that have at least 20 Amps on the 12V.

You will need about 150 watts of power and a spare 6-pin PCIe power connector on your PSU. It looks like you're using a Corsair 80+ 430 watt PSU, so it should cover these.It all depends what other components you have in your system. It looks like you could with something like an Intel Core i3 or an AMD FX-4300, with a fair amount of buffer.A good place to get an estimate of how much power your PC needs would be PC Part Picker (just google it).

I suspect so but I am using a 430 watt PSU. Go to pcpartpicker.com and enter your components such as graphics card, motherboard and hard drive. Enter any component that consumes power. It will then indicate how many watts your system will use.

Would recommend at least a 600wat psu.(Also depending on what else you have in your system)

No. The motherboard and other devices will pull an average of 100 watts combined. You would need at least 450 watts.

http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-3753-KR -- this model needs at least a 400 watt power supply, as it says in "Details" -> "Requirements"

A power suppuy with 600 watts will be enough, make sure it has 2 pci express of 4 and 8 pins, and remember to be sure its compatible with your motherboard

As long as you have a pci express-16x slot it will fit and the power supply should be at least 500 watts

The specs will tell you that and all other info. on the MSI web. I am running two and use a 1800 watt PS. I would think 800 watts would work but it depends what other stuff you have in your PC like say 6 hard drives or 1 hard drive? G

Honestly, no. The graphics card technically needs 400 watts, I changed out the 350 with a 750. The computer should have at least a 400-450 watt at a minimum.

I would get a big higher wattage on your place. There is a good tool from ASUS to calculate the approximate PSU power you will require for your system: http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx

you need to add up all of your items in the computer to know what is needed. look at the original setup..it should have listed the power requirements for each item

Depends upon what is installed in your computer. CPU, hard drive, video card,RAM, motherboard including optical drive all need power. I would say 350 watts and above would be a safe bet.

300 watts is insufficient for this card. I'd recommend a 500w of real power. Don't buy a cheap brand. The longevity and safety of your entire PC rests in the PSUs hand.

I placed the information you gave me in a power supply calculator. I didn't have all the info on your pc so I guessed at some things, such as 2 dvd drive instead of 1, and 2 hard drives instead of 1. The answer I got was a recommended 345 watt power supply. In that case, this power supply here will work great! But I encourage you to do your own power calculations because you have more info about your pc than I do. This is the online calculator I used--&gt; http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/ the CPU Socket for your pc is--&gt; Socket LGA 1155. Hope I have been able to help you.

The power supply is 350 watts. You will need a different video card than is on the motherboard so add that cost.

The required power supply for this type of card is minimum 800w (espesially if you plan to overclock) with 2power cables dedicated for this video card, so make sure the number of power outlets from the supply is enough for all you other components (ie DVD drive, hard drive, ect) good luck
