Hello @zkdls94,
That one has a recommended system power of 300 W. So you would not need to upgrade the Power Supply. However, since it has bus support for PCI Express 3.0, you may still experience a lack in performance. I can not recommend a Power Supply. If you choose to go with the first Graphics Card, then you would need to upgrade the Power Supply to something that is at least 400 W. I hope this helps.
