Specs: Windows 7
Looking at buying a Radeon HD 5750 1gb. One of the requirements is that it has a "450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended".

My current power supply is 300 watts so I need to upgrade. Unfortunately I don't know much about hardware so I was wondering if someone could let me know if this power supply I found would work for the Radeon HD 5750 1gb and the current motherboard I use.

Power supply (looking to buy):

Motherboard (already own) - my graphics card is not the one stated in the link fyi:

Specs for my computer:
Phenom II x4 910
8 GB of Memory
ATI Radeon HD4350
1 TB Hardrive
300W Power Supply

Thanks to anyone who can help.

the power requirement is 450w +12v@30A. i don't think that is a good power supply, CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 500W for 50bucks after rebate (newegg.com).

edit: for the same price u can obtain geforce 450GTS which is better than radeon hd 5750 and it use low power (450w +12v@24A).
