What's up people?
I need a new GPU and a PSU. My current GPU is Ati Radeon x1550, which is too bad for gaming, And my power supply is too noisy and I can't find anyone to locally do a fan replace for me ( Well, I wouldn't want to take the risk of doing it myself, not only I could destroy the PSU, but also kill myself by electric shocking )
So I've had my eyes on a GPU for 150$, and I found GTS 250. Looks good and my friend has one and he says it's awesome, but problem is, my motherboard ( 945PL-S3P Gigabyte ) has a PCI-E 1.0 x16 port, not a PCI-E 2.0 x16 and that GPU is 2.0. Will I see any down performance than a mobo with 2.0 port?
Last, can anyone recommend me a brand and number of wattage which will power up this system well:
CPU :E8400 3.00 GHz, oc'd from 2.40 GHz to 3.00 GHz as my motherboard doesn't support that power unless I oc it.
GPU :Gts 250
Hdd : 1 x 250 GB Sata hdd, 1 x 160 GB IDE hdd
Fans : 1x Case fan, 1x CPU fan, ?x GPU fans ( Still don't know if that GPU has 1 or 2 fans )
Motherboard : Gigabyte 945PL-S3P Bios version F6a
Ram : 2x2 GB DDR2 ram ( I think they're clocked at 333.5 MHz, not sure ).
If you need pictures of anything via a certain software, please tell me.
