500W is fine, but that brand looks very cheap and could literally go up in smoke. I suggest buying a new, quality, PSU as well.

300w is plenty for a pentium g3260 and 750ti but that's a really crap psu even though you have enough wattage there's no guarantee it will last you

300w on the +12v rail...

Yup, it's a paperweight lol

Also make sure the 750ti is one that doesn't require a PCI-E connector

it depends on the 750ti. some can run on as low as 250 watt PSU's. and require no power plug

and yeah, that PSU looks sketchy

but 300watts, and 25Amps IF its actually getting that on the +12 rails is plenty for 750ti

Grab a corsair 400w or even an antec vp350w both low priced and reliable and would be very sufficient for your rig.

Oops double post, my bad. :nutkick:

"Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 350" or "Chieftec Force CPS-400" are both reliable and cheap (the former is with FSP, the latter is with Sirtec inside), or the "FSP350-60APN" it's even cheaper but iirc it has short cables, so you have to make sure it will reach the motherboard's powerplug. I wouldn't go any lower (and I also wouldn't touch the Corsair 400w tbh).

Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti OC Guru 2 WINDFORCE 2X, 2048MB, GDDR5, 128bit, 2x HDMI, 2x DVI

Thats the card i plan on getting.
The 1050 is too expensive for you?

That GPU requires a 6 pin pci-e connector if I'm not mistaken and I doubt you have one on your current PSU so you will defo need a new PSU unless you change the card to one not requiring external power and risk using your current PSU

Hmm so i guess i need a new Psu after all. Well the one that ne6togando recommended, does it have a 6pin pci-e connector?

You can risk it ofc, just like you can run cross the street at red lights for years or even decades... but make sure you understand that a bad PSU can
1, kill your entire PC (videocard, motherboard, hard drives, etc)
2, could set itself on fire and burn down your house.

I'm running/testing a codegen PSU because of a bet I made with a friend, and that brand is one of the very worst on the planet. It's running under load for 4 years now without any problems.... so even bad PSUs can go well,..... but I would still never recommend them to anyone.

I mean nothing against your suggestion (просто сам фен на нвидиата а и саита които ми показваш е непознат за мен. Ако можеш до препоръчаш PSU от някои по познат саит до към 70 лева ще съм много благодарен) Never the less thanks for letting me know i need a new psu

Edit: А да не знам защо смяташ че ще се изръся, за 269 лева ще я взема. Просто съм любопитен :D

никема са ок. и аз и колеги сме поръчвали достра пъти. никога не е имало проблеми. работят с моста и ценита са им почти същите. ако искаш поръчай от моста (most.bg).
тия дето са за 70 кинта не са мн по-добри от това което имаш.
заеби фенските историй. зачукваш си го мн здраво с тва 750ti. за 40лв повече може да земеш карта последно поколение дето е 30% по бърза от ти-то и да играш като бел човек не да се чудиш тва петно на екрана героя ти ли е или кофа за боклук. по-добре събери малко повече пари и купи нещо качествено отколкот да си хвърляш парите на вятъра

Ето го проблема при мен, разполагам с 400 лв, и ще ми трябва и psu тоест мога да изхарча 300лв за карта. А и целта ми не е космичиско ниво на графика а нещо което да подкарва модертите игри на медиум или лоу

Well so im spending 50$ on a new psu and i have around 125-150$ max for a new card. I dont aim for runnung games on high and get over 200 fps, I just aim for a card that can get solid 60 frames on modern games even if i play on low/medium graphics. For now 750ti is my plan but if you know any cards that are better at that aspect and are at the same price then i would like to know about them :D
