going to computer show tomorrow need upgrade advice

[insanepsycho]

ok ty

get the 750 that I linked from buy.com it is 103 with free shipping

And that mouse i linked earlier was 42, w/ free shipping so that's 145, which is under your budget.

yep lol ty very much but also i noticed that that 750 power supply didnt say anything about sli certified and such like the others i saw and my dad was thinking about eventually going dual video card on the pc he is building

 

[Ventriac]

Sli with what cards?

 

[veg1992]

SLI Certified stuff is a gimmick by nVidia..

If the PSU has two PCI-e Video Connector's it will still work

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies

On newegg it says sli certified... buy.com is cheaper a cheaper alternative at the moment.

ok ty and i dont know which ones he is thinking about dualing as for right now i think he is just gonna go with one card but plans to upgrade to a second in the future

 

[veg1992]

Don't bother with two HD 4850's unless you have a really big monitor (24'' +) but even then one HD 4850 is enough

 

[insanepsycho]

no yea imma not planning on doubling up i dont think he is gonna get the same cideo card as me tho Thank you all so much for your help imma goto sleep gotta wake up early for the show tom cya around

If you haven't purchased your power supply yet and want to get something cheaper than the 550vx then go for a 450vx which will still run a single 4850.
