Alright, so I just went out today and bought a BFG 8800GTS OC video card, along with a new PSU. Unfortunately, the PSU I bought was garbage and was not compatible with my motherboard. Now, on the back of the package for this card, it says 425watt PSU reccomended...or something along those lines. My computer Im working with is a Dell 4700, and Im fairly sure the PSU in it currently is around 309watts. Would even trying to run this card with my current setup kill it?
