Well I guess it's just 6600GT, BUT, should I have a problem running this card with a 350W PS?

 

[Fitz]

I used to run a 6600GT on a 250W PSU, so you should be fine unless the rest of your system draws some serious power.

 

[skudmunky]

I ran a 6800nu on a 300 watt PSU, you will be fine on the 350.

 

[BodiesOfLight]

Alright, cool.

 

[Elec]

Depends on the rest of your gear, but you should be fine.

That's it really.

Really? Hm.

Will this do?

I would want to keep it around $40 (if possible) if I have to up my PS.

 

[imported_Echo_]

its better than what you have so id say its good enough but psu are usually something yoiu dont wanna skimp out on

edit: then again im coming from an overclocking background where psu means everything

Cheap PSU = crap, & watts mean nothing these days. Check out http://hardforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=93

IMO, the Thermaltake 480W Purepower is quite decent, but you can find better & cheaper from Fortron (FSP). If you are running stock, definately upgrade your power supply before it kills something

SO anything on this page is cool 400W+? Though you said watts don't matter?

How 'bout this?

 

[BodiesOfLight]

Are used PSUs worth messing with?

 

[Unearthed]

First off, I wouldn't change anything unless for some reason you encounter a problem. If you were woefully underpowered then I would say yes, change it out...but you are not and you should be just fine. I run a system that needs 2x the power that one does and I am running money on a 450w low-end Antec.

You should be all set...

 

[BodiesOfLight]

Well I got a higher end 500w Antec brand new for a good deal, I'll put the card in and run my system without opening the new PSU, so if I need it, it's there. If everything seems fine after a few days, I'll return it.
