How well will these run Eve?

I'm running an Acer barebones computer from Costco, with an a10, 12 GB ram, and the on board graphics with a 200w PS. Will it run on my rig without an upgrade to the PS?

I added 8gb of RAM myself and have been looking into a card, if I didn't have to upgrade anything but the card it would be a huge plus.

You'll need more watt for a card.

Even a card that requires no secondary power source?

It's like the 750ti, only they are making a 950 model with the same features.

The CPU alone has 65W TDP, the rest of the components will likely bring the total up to roughly 100W. Considering that you shouldn't go over 80% max load on the PSUs, that leaves only about 60W for a GFX card. That's not nearly enough for any current decent gamer card.

75w tdp

I'll probably go with a bigger PS, and better card.....but this option makes me wonder.
