Psu:220 watt
1tb hardrive
windows 10

I see alot of posts of people using gtx 750s and Ti's with 220 watts,my friend has a gt620 and its requirement is 300w but hes using a 220w psu also, on the geforce website it states that gt620
Maximum Graphics Card Power (W) 49 and gtx 750 Graphics Card Power (W) 55...

So will it be safe because its does fine on the 620 uses 6 watts less then the gtx 750?


heres a vid of some guy using gtx 750 ti gaming oc 2gb edition on 220 watt

[_I_]

no, that a full height gpu and 2 slot, you need a low profile single slot gpu

[just saiyan]

since i cant find a gtx 750 ti half height where i live,can u show me any other cards that are similiar to that

[_I_]

there was a low profile low power ver of the gts250
its older, not quite as strong as a 750
but it requires pci-e power, that psu may not be enough for it

i would really think about building a gaming pc

[just saiyan]

i think ill keep looking for that single slot gtx 750 ti that u first showed but if i cant find it where i live, ill just go back to playing on xbone :/

I used/searched all over as much as I could using:

Best I can find that will work in your system is "GT 740" but to be honest I doubt that's even worth getting. Best bet is probably save up for better system; then build it.

Use UpPrice for South Africa; it is good, like PriceWatch and u can easily search for PC Hardware and other gadgets and then easily compare retailers who sell/ship to your region.

Thanks so much man,will i be able to put all the components such as the motherboard and hardrive into a ATX case?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

It is very possible to just transfer that Motherboard over to a Micro-ATX Case; but you will then need to buy a standard ATX Power Supply; then between the case and power supply; u won't be so limited on what GPU u can use. At least from your Motherboard pics I can see it uses a standard ATX (24pin ATX + 4pin AUX/CPU)

However if that system is an OEM Pre-Build (like Dell, HP, Lenovo) it might not be straight-forward when it comes to hooking up the Case Front I/O (Buttons, LEDs, etc.) to an OEM Motherboard. I've done that many times for customers and what I do is take note on how the current case front i/o works; as those wires usually go to a single block connector that connects to the motherboard; but are with a non-standard ATX layout. So u will have to figure out the position of the switch/LEDs and then re-connect them in that same position on the motherboard with the new case. Not that hard to do, just something u need to be aware of.

the board should fit in an itx case, but its pci-e x1 slot will not be usable since most itx cases have slots starting where the x16 slot is on that board

[Bad 💀 Motha]

I'd suggest a MicroATX layout case; so you won't have to buy such a compact GPU.
Given how on your board the PCIE is on the outter-edge as opposed to how a MicroATX board actually is. Anyways, hope that makes sense.

Something like this perhaps:

i think ill buy a normal motherboard and new case but will the cpu from the small motherboard fit in a normal motherboard?..if that works ill just take the same ram and 1tb hardrive from small case and put in new case then i can fit a decent gfx in a normal atx case

[_I_]

yes, the cpu is socket 1155
make sure the board is an intel 6x-7x chipset

[Bad 💀 Motha]

yea maybe better idea to leave the current system "as-is" and just use for more basic stuff and buy or build a newer machine. Best bet is custom build.

Using a site like uPRICE I linked above; the search engine can better help u find prices and retailers for South Africa area. Long as you know what u looking for; I did some tests on that and was able to find enough for a whole build; I'm just not sure of those prices due to the currency.

[just saiyan]

So normal size atx case with 400+watt psu installed,intel 6x-7x motherboard and gtx 750 ti any size since its a new case.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Depends on the Motherboard choice and how much your budget is:

For MicroATX (4-slots) Motherboard; Case = Micro / Mid / Full Tower
For ATX (7-slots) Motherboard; Case = Mid / Full Tower

So Micro Motherboard can obviously fit in a larger case; but full ATX Motherboard will require a larger minimum sized case.
