My system
CPU: Amd Athlon II x4 651 3Ghz
RAM: 4Gb 1333Mhz 2 modules
HDDS: 1x 250Gb 7200rpm SATA, 1x 150Gb 5400rpm SATA
MoBo: ASRock A75M-HVS Fm1
Fans: 1x 92mm 1200rpm
Monitor: HP L2208w 1650x1080 res
GPU: EVGA GTX 550 ti (right now)
PSU: Fractal Design Integra 400w
Problem
I've decided to buy an MSI Radeon 6970 Lighning, my question is: Do I have to get a new PSU?
My PSU right now has 1x 6+2pin and 1x molex>6-pin, with the 6970 you get a 6-pin>8-pin connector,, that makes it 2x 8-pin connectors. The card requies 2x 8-pins.
The PSU has a 12V-rail of 2x 17A and 400 watt and 80+ bronze.
Of course it's "safer" to get a new PSU but do I have to?
