PSU Question

[Grippz]

ok right im not sure about your graphics card as you havnt told us the model, however i would seriously consider getting a new PSU such as one made by OCZ, Corsair or Coolermaster etc as with a PSU like your current one, there is a VERY strong chance it could blow up..... and maybe take all of your other componants with it.

Yeah sorry for lack of information there and thats what i was thinking - If i do upgrade my PSU its not going to blow any components is it? - This is why i made this thread yano.. Is it safe to upgrade the PSU so to speak?

Yep, it safe to change the PSU, and no it wont blow any componants providing its a decent PSU just make sure you change it to be on the safe side, rather than take a chance

these are only a few i can recommend (just used ebuyer as it was the site i was browsing at the time) Id say go with 500W as it should be enough for your computer, and allow room for future graphic card updates if you wish.

Yes looks alright,

but I'm guessing the RAM is 800mhz?

You would see a much better performance by getting about 3 or 4gb 1300mhz RAM and using a 32 bit operating system.

Also don't go cheap on the graphics card, that looks like a great system so far, if your going with ATI get a 4850 HD, very good performance for the price.

I am going to get that PSU tomorrow then, Thanks for the help everyone - +REP to the people that helped the most (;

What is it with people and overkill?

8gb lol?

[Stephen!]

I have 8GB and it comes very helpful.

For example you can completley turn off the page file so that your system becomes more responsive.

No matter what anybody says, Size > Speed.

If you are a computer enthusiast there's no such thing as overkill.

I agree. I used to turn of the page file on Windows XP computers that had 2GB or more. Increases performance a fair bit.
