That all depends on what percent of power that your already using from that supply. For example if you have multiple spinning hard drives, two rom drives, lots of fans running, maybe a CPU that's overclocked and using extra power and so on you probably won't be able to supply enough power. But on the other hand if you have no rom drives, only a ssd drive or just one hard drive a system with 2 or less fans and no other accessories it just might be able to supply the needed power. You will know if it doesn't as you will get graphical glitches or even game crashes or total lockups during games and heavy graphical situations. I have a 750 in my computer because I have 1 ssd hard drive, 2 spinning disc 500gb hard drives, 1 DVD rom drive, 5 fans running this 1070 video card, 16 gigs of memory, and a 6 core cpu. I also have a mic video camera and often use game controller for train sim or flight sim and other games.
