will this video card work

[edwardopowers]

im thinking of getting an eVGA 512-P2-N637-AR GeForce 7950GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP KO Superclocked Video Card, but i dont know if i should save my money and buy something else. What do you guys think.

here is what else i will be using, and e6400, and an ASUS P5N-E SLI Socket T (LGA 775) NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

280 dollars... seems like a good deal to me, but how much money do you have on you, because if you could get it to 400 or so, you will have a much better GPU with the 8800GTS. It's Dx10 too, so there is even less need to upgrade it..

 

[edwardopowers]

i can probable get about another $150, so that should cover it

 

[edwardopowers]

but what kind of power supply should i get to power it, or what would be the best brand for under $100

 

[edwardopowers]

okay what do you think about this one, eVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card

That's a good video card.

Honestly, you don't need THAT great of a PSU to power these things. What PSU do you have now?

 

[edwardopowers]

right now i only have a 450w psu and i still need to upgrade so what do you recommend

 

[thirdleft]

that 450W should be find depending on what kind it is.

 

[edwardopowers]

its an off brand, and i cant find the brand name, so i think ill just go with a 500w forton psu

That sounds like a good idea
