Hey guys and gals.
Here is my computer, HP Pavilion M8300F(GX611AA) Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3GB DDR2 640GB NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT Windows Vista Home Premium: The GPU that it came with was an 8500GT, not a 6150 SE
Here is the graphics card I am replacing it with.
Newegg.com - ZOTAC ZT-98XES2P-FCP GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
My room gets no cross breeze or draft, so it gets very hot fast. I'm think about getting the Arctic Cooling Unit, Accelero S1 to help it a bit. Do you think both(if the S1 can't fit, its ok) will fit in there fine and lower the temp hopefully? And extra measures/steps I should take?
Also, is there any other hardware I need to replace to run this? Like my stock psu, do I need to replace that? And what would you recommend if yes?
And finally, I would really like to know if there is a good card out there that all I need to do is put it in and it will work fine. No additional parts needed. I really don't like doing all of this.
Thx for the help!!!
