My first post, so here goes...
I bought a gaming computer about six months ago, having not gamed too much since my youth, and not really knowing what I was doing!!
Here's the specs :
Intel P4 550 3.4Ghz
250 Gb HDD
X300 256MB PCI - express
1024 RAM
800 Mhz FSB
Having spent the last six months gaming my a**e off, I thought it was time I did something with that graphics card.
My questions are :
1. Should I be attempting to change the graphics card myself, or am I gonna fry my computer?
2. Ive read a lot about the eVGA 6800 GT 256mb PCI express card on these forums and that seems the way to go, although I have read comments about needing a decent PSU. How do I find out the rating on my current PSU??
Any help gratefully received
