Hi I'm planning on upgrading my Acer tc-705 with a MSI gtx 750ti. I've done hours and possibly weeks of research seeing whether this card will work with my pre built PC or not. I've come to the conclusion that it will work but its better to upgrade my PSU sooner than later. Can I have some second opinions here on the Acer community site. Do you guys think I can run this card for at least 6 months?I have a 300w fsp 300 60(tha1) PSU with 8A on the 12v1 rail and 14a on the 12v2. I'm more worried about the wattage though so any thoughts will help!

A few people have reported that the 750ti and everything worked fine with that exact power supply on the same motherboard. The wattage should be fine with FSP 300W. I have that power supply too (and same motherboard) and was torn about what to do. I went ahead and just upgraded the power supply........i.e. I chickened out. I found a 450W Seasonic 80 plus gold on a black friday sale for $53.00 shipped. The fan on my FSP 300W was starting to get a little loud (not really loud, but annoying tone) so it wasn't that hard of a decision in the end. I'm not familiar the size of the MSI version of the card as to whether it will fit or not.. Edit: but I didn't buy the 750ti

A short, single fan 1060 will probably work too, but I assume it would also run about 81 degress C.......which is pretty warm. Most people wouldn't like the idea of running at 81 C. I haven't had any problems with my short 960 at 81 C so I think you'd be fine. A 1050 should run cooler.

My card is 6.7 inches, but the 1060 card below is 6.8 so you might need the cable mod and you might not. It'll be close.
