Graphics Card Upgrade

[Jordy]

Hey I've currently got a Nvidia 7300 GS which is rather poor as graphics cards go and I've had a few problems. I'm thinking of upgrading to an 8800 as I plan on going dual-screen in the very near future and doing a little gaming, so this would be slightly more appropriate. I imagine I would also need to upgrade my 250W PSU.

Graphics card: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(38393)NVIDIA-GeForce-8800-GTS-320MB-PCIE.aspx

PSU: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124922

Would they go well together, is the PSU Reliable and is it a good price? Budget £90 max.

Judging by the reviews its a ood PSU so I say, go for it :)

[Technologic]

Go for it, it would certainly make a difference

That graphics card is the original GTS, not the newer-gen one.

I'd stongly advise against budget PSU's

Arctic Power are a good brand

Fair do's, how about Coolermaster PSUs, reliable?

:rolleyes:

Go on then, tell me what's wrong with them?

[scottish]

Idk about that exact one as i've never used it, but in general all budget PSU's are crap, cause when they blow you'll know about it.

[Technologic]

You don't really have a valid point there... When any PSU goes you know about it... And you can't turn your nose up at an Arctic Power PSU if you've never used one

[scottish]

Corsair etc made so it doesn't fry every living thing on your computer, artic power would no doubt take em with it, and yes i can as its budget. Thats like saying Ebuyer Extra Value is crap, just because i haven't used it i can give it an opinion.

Yes, CM are good.

[Jordy]

Yes, CM are good.Okay then I'll spend a little bit more and go for that then. Is there anything else I need to know? Is compatibility fine etc? And will setup be pretty easy?

Yes, if you have a PCI-E slot it will be fine. Just make sure you remove all drivers for the old card first before fitting this one.

Coolermaster PSUs are good, i have one
