Howdy smart people !
I am attempting to upgrade my system to get me through one more year....
I have a Dell 8300 with a 3 gig P4 800 MHZ FSB with a crappy fx5200 video card and SB live audio.
I am thinking I would like to upgrade the Video card to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130274
Also I am upgrading the RAM to this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227210
I have a 305 W PS stock in this dell with 18 amps flow on the 12v+..I have heard that some users have had issue with the 7800GS cards not working with a PS that small...
Any advice you can offer would be great !!
One last thought.. I have 2 sticks of Samsung 512MEG PC3200 (400 MHZ DDR)(samsung k4h560838f-tccc) ram in the system now...can I use it as well when I install the new ram or should I just toss it?
Thanks,
Mech
