    FSP 350W Question

    My boss wants to upgrade one of the kids PCs, currently he has an FSP 350W running an i5-3530 (stock + stock cooler), 1 HDD + a Geforce GT 620. Any ideas of one of those FSP 350Ws (was a novatech built PC), is beefy enough to run a r9 280 or GTX 760 - Or should I tell him to go for a 500W PSU as well (was looking at an EVGA one for £45 ish)

    You'd probably need a beefier PSU if you got either of those cards, I expect you'd get away with a Geforce 750Ti on the 350w though if you want to keep costs down.

    This was my thinking

    Seconding the 750Ti or 760. From AMD 260x, 265 or even 270 should be ok.

    Does the PSU has a PCI-E connector?
