Calculating Activity Rates
There is an customer that is building an computer system they have an asrock g31 motherboard, intel celeron cpu 2gb of ram, 250gb hdd, 250watt psu but he wants to know if his current power supply can handle the graphics card which is an msi r7 250 gpu first we will need to find out the amount of watts that the graphics card need to run and the other components. Graphics card =48watts Motherboard= 35- 130 watts =181.741watts Ram=2.016watts Power supply= 250 Watts CPU= 1.560-1.725v Depending on the load the CPU is under the voltage can go higher the current setup that you have the graphics card can run on that same power supply but i would recommend you to upgrade the power supply to at least 500 Watts because when the graphics card and other components is on load the voltage can spike and the current power supply would not be able to handle it because there is no head room its like trap in a very tight space and cant move freely
