Hello folks I have a question in regards to upgrading my PC.
I have an
Inspiron 531s
3.5 RAM
AMD 64X2 +5000 2.6GHZ,
Windows 7 64BIT, 300GB HD
Nvidia GeForce 9500GT 1GB VRAM DDR2
DELL (They might have been wrong but it's too late now for me) stated that the only processor upgrade I could do is an AMD 64X2 + 6000 3.1 GHZ Processor so I got that one. Now I'm trying to upgrade my graphics card.
Now according to everywhere I've been my Inspiron can only do 250W though I'm running a graphics card that currently requires 350W with no issues. My question is...would it handle a GEForcde 9600GT that requires 400W (I'm having difficulties finding a 59W version that requires only 300W).
If not the next question is...can my PC handle a 400W PSU so I can then get the graphics card (according to DELL I can't). Can you folks help me?
