Hello guys,
I've planned to buy a new graphics card soon. However I'm still hesitating, do I need to change my PSU or not? Here's my config:
Intel i5-2400
SSD Kingston Hyper X 120GB
2x4GB ram Stick DDR3
HDD 500GB SataIII
Nvidia GT530
300W PSU
(sorry, my computer is based on a OEM one, I've changed many things but I still don't know some parts of it, I've added a SSD, a RAM stick, so much more)
I've chosen to buy a GTX 1050 for around 130 quids ("cheapest" GPU I can find) ; I can buy a PSU too, but I saw on GPUBoss that my actual GPU, a GT530, has a TDP of 50W. The GTX 1050, a TDP of 75W.
Here's my question. Do I consider buying a PSU too? Or will it be enough? It's not a question of money, I have the money to buy it; however if I'm not obligated to buy one, I can buy a shifter instead.
Thanks for reading
€€€€: I've done a little test on that site, and it seems that they recommends a PSU of around 300-350W. Considering it's only a supposition, do you think this could be okay?
