Can anyone give me some info on power supplys/video cards.

[ Edited ]

I was thinking of buying this video card from futureshop:

 http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/visiontek-visiontek-amd-radeon-hd-6750-1gb-gddr5-pci-e-video-...

 

 

and the PSu i have in my computer is a low quality one that came with my case but i was wondering if it could handle that radeon 6750 that i linked. Here is the PSU i currently have:

DiabloTek PSDA400 DA Series Power Supply - ATX, 400-Watt, 2x 80mm Fan, 78% Efficient, Silver, SATA Ready

 

 

Do you think that could handle the 6750?

 

 

 

if not would any of these three PSu be any good?(http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/compare-result.aspx?ProductIds=%2C10190698%2C10162556%2C10190140&re...) they are all like 49$ at futureshop, which would be the best?

 

Thanks.

 

 

PS my PC specs are Currently:

 

Intel i3 2120

4gig ddr3 ram

9600 GSO 512 evga

160gig hardrive.

Hello con131,

 

I see that the video card that you are looking at requires a 400 watt power supply. That is cutting it a bit close, I would recommend possibly getting a power supply that is rated higher, like this Coolmax 600 watt power supply you linked to (http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/coolmax-coolmax-600-watt-power-supply-vl-600b-vl-600b/1016255...).
