Thinking of buying a 7800GS but I have a problem...

[Bullet-X2]

My PSU is 350W and the minimum PSU requirements are 350W but the other stuff also needs power from the PSU? Will 350W be enough or will I have to upgrade?

you should really upgrade ur PSU, because if ur PSU is old, it most likely doesnt have dual rail, hence it wont have enough amparage.

Do you know of a Good PSU around 50 dollars that would do the trick? And how easy is it to replace an old PSU and get everything working without problems?

your gfx card only uses like 100 watts, but 350 watt seems old, i had a 5 year old one and i got rid of it.

Ok but do you think 350W will be enough to run a

Athlon 64 3200+
1.5GB RAM

I have no sound card.

Because I don't wanna waste money on a new PSU I just need the 7800GS until the DX10 Cards and Vista come out.
