Here are my specs

2.4ghz duo
2gig ddr2 ram
320gb hd
500w psu
current card 8600gt

my only concern in buying the gtx is that the 500w psu wont have enough juice to power it...however the specs of the card say it only requires 450w psu. Im about to buy it and id just like to get a second opinion b4 spending 600$


thanks

card reqs:

Minimum of a 450 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 28 Amps.

im still looking for the info on my powersupply but i just bought the pc 2 weeks ago from velocity micro, all i can find is that it is 500w....i'm not near my pc atm, using a laptop so i cant run any tests....
 
yes, your going to have to see the amperage on the comp. there is a high chance it will work though.
 
when you get to the pc open the case and there should be a sticker on the psu stating how many amps and a load of other infomation
 
Velocity Micro uses high quality parts so I'm pretty sure the power supply should be enough for it. Check the amps though like they said..
 
i was gona say o.o

and vernong built his 1st computer at 10 o.0...

well just look at the label, if the label says 28 or higher, I-FIVE!!!

if it isn't, well, thats unfortunate, you need a new one.
