Good afternoon everyone,
So i decided to upgrade my HP desktop computer with an ASUS STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5
But now the issue is i'm wondering if my system can handle it safely. I've been googling around all morning doing some research on similar cases. Found out most people say it is possible and should be perfectly fine with even a 450 W power supply. but i need some personal opinions on this.
Now, currently i have this Machine: http://support.hp.com/be-nl/document/c02000625
It's been upgraded with an SSD and 8 GB RAM and a Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2 GB.
It comes with an HP 460 W power supply from delta electronics. Never had any issues with it and as far as i know HP makes some quality material which is just overpriced. Now nothing is OC'ed or anything , i'm also not planning to.
Now the Question: Will the 460 W be enough the GTX 970 in my system?
I've checked the video about the wattage guide so i assume its gonna work, but i need some more opinions in my case:
Also have at the picture below: To my surprise, the version of the card i'm buying has only one 6-pin Power connector. Not 2 x 6 or 1x6 + 1x8
The person had two of them in SLI and selling both because he's upgrading to GTX 980 in SLI.
So i'm buying one GTX 970 from him.
What are your thoughts on this?
