Like the question asked, I wanna know if that is good enough? Hoping to go for a nvidia 7950 gt, but my power supply is only 360 watts.

When nVidia says it requires a minimum 350W power supply, they are accounting for the rest of your system as well. The card itself take about 85W. You should probably consider the quality and age of your power supply, if it is a good brand and is fairly new, you should be alright, but if it is cheap or getting old, you would want a new one. (Power supplies that come with Dells, HPs, Gateways, etc. would fall under the cheap category).

in case you have Spare Connector on your potential supply you need to be wonderful although this is Seven Years previous...Does It even have The ATX Connectors On It...in any case...purely replace It With The 350 For $5 The Curcuit technologies would be lots greater powerful and could Prolly Have Sata Leads...No you may not Have too lots potential. the 5 hundred Or Hell i've got seen Them Up To1500 Watts purely Have greater Connection thoughts On Them That Doesnt effect Their Output nevertheless purely Giving 12 Or 5 Volt purely to greater units.....

BFG GeForce 7950 GT
Minimum System Requirements
A 350W PCI Express compliant system power supply (with 12V current rating of 22A or more)
A PCI Express supplementary power connector
NOTE: For two GeForce 7950 GT-based graphics cards running in NVIDIA SLIconfigurations, a minimum 500W system power supply (with 12V rating of 28A) is recommended.

Probably not; you need some power for the rest of the box. But, are you sure that the card requires that much power? That is a HUGE number.

For that card I wouldn't consider anything less then 500W.
Also, a power supply isn't something to save money on.

You should change the PSU soon.360W is not enough
500+w is recommended
because other device share your power as well.
