I know someone who wants to upgrade his video card. He currently has a cheap 300 Watt power supply in his system. If he upgraded to the below power supply would the new 430 Watt power supply support the below video card:


POWERCOLOR AX3650 512MD3-P Radeon HD 3650 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI
Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - $88
(including shipping costs)

will defintly run it. but have him look at paying a bit mroe to get a better one right off, so that he does not have to buy a new one when he upgrades.
 
i would either stick with the current PSU (which should be fine for that card), or upgrade to a good Corsair or OCZ which would run any card. the above units aren't really future proof though.
