Do I need a new power supply for video card?

[Skydog287]

Hey there!

I was wondering if I'll need a new power supply for the video card I want to get?

Right now I have a 300W Power Supply I believe. This is my rig:

and this is the video card I want to get:

Thanks in advance!

I would suggest a Good 500 watter for the 4830 + X4 9150e or whatever. I think your Quad is a energy saving Processor, so you might be good with a nice 450w.

P.S. I think that processor will bottleneck that card, but hey, what AMD Processor doesn't bottleneck

Thanks, sounds good. Hopefully it doesn't bottleneck it too much.

I was looking at this power supply, seems like a good deal:

The XCLIO GOODPOWER 500 Watt Power Supply is a good choice. XCLIO makes good power supplies.

And corsair is even better

Corsair make one of the best PSUs around, and they cost less than most...

LOL,.

The XCLIO GOODPOWER 500 Watt Power Supply is a good choice. XCLIO makes good power supplies.

That PSU is a piece of shit, totally. No active PFC, low 12Vrail (actually insufficient entirely), not EPS cert, low MTBF at 25oC, complete shite.

For that card you need a min of 26A on the 12V rail.
