oh, you can get away with a 350 W PSU if it's a good one, like one from a reputable brand. I was mentioning shitty 500 W PSUs as those are ubiquitous practically everywhere and cost next to nothing.
you'll see if you're ready to rock when you first turn it on, most of the GPUs have a LED near the power connector. if the PSU is adequate, the light is white. if it isn't, it's red.
Oh i see, this 400W one i got said it had one of those 80 plus White certification or something, and said it had 80% efficiency, so if this is true i suppose it may do the job then, about this light thing, I'll look for that when it arrives, never saw a PSU with an LED, interesting, thanks there!
Oooooh hold on, you said most GPUs have an LED, ok, now that makes more sense, misread that haha
