Hi, I just bought a new video card for my pc and checked the minimum requirements, it say that the minimum power need is 300 watts. I only have a 250 watt power supply though. Was just wondering if it'l work. I don't really play games on my pc because i have a xbox so it's really only just for basic use. So can anybody pls tell if it'l be a problem using it without upgrading the power supply pls? * +

But 250W psu is not enough for many things in these days, its better to go and buy a 350W. * +

My CPU alone draws 150w yeah, 250w is nothing these days * +

Lol dam k but the specs i'm using isn't much tho.. It's 2.8 intel with hyperthreading, 1 gig ram two sata drives and one writer. I'm only really going to watch movies n maybe convert one or two and most probably only play older games or even just mame or neo geo * +
