Hi, I want to put a graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 7950) into my PC but my current PSU, which is the one that came with the PC, can only supply 180W, while the graphics card requires an additional 300W. Would I be able to replace my PSU with a 500W one, and if I could, what PSU could I replace it with?

Thanks.

@anuka175,

Here is the illustrated parts manual. Pg 41-42 explains the PSU removal.  The PSU is a standard ATX 24 design. Corsair CX550 would be a nice fit. On sale now !!!
