Therefore I don't think it would hit the 75W limit of PCI-e port. Anyways, I also think its better to have a more powerful PSU.  But he can try it first with his existing PSU and see if it works. I don't know for sure, but there is no harm in trying, right? In the worst case, the computer will crash, but I don't think it can cause any hardware problems, right?</blockquote>
