I am planning on building a computer and I’m considering this graphics card…But I need to know how much power it uses so I know how big of a power supply to buy.

If you’re building this computer, and planning on overclocking the video and cpu – I would go with nothing less than a 700 Watt power supply.

If you get a minimum of 650w, this should be enough, but I would go for a minimum of 800w, then should you wish to upgrade other components in the future, your PSU will be able to handle it.
Hope this helps!
