if you want a card like that you will probably have to fork out more for a better PSU.

Please open the case, read the label on the power supply. Need to know the manufacturer, and the amp ratings on the +12v1 and +12v2. Also, look for a 6 digit number preceeded by an "E". It will be small, and near the UL symbol.

That's not even an ATX 2.x power supply, it won't handle any PCI-E video card. 10 amps on a single +12v rail is pathetic. Sorry about that, if you want a video card you will need a better power supply. Pick the card out first then we can advise on a replacement PSU.

You won't need too much power for those cards. But quality is important. This Corsair is a good unit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...corsair%20450w

For gaming, I think you need to look for a slightly better video card. This one is rated best in its price class.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102820 Good power supply choice, it's down in the Antec price range now. |
