Ok, so after putting it off.. I can't any longer, and need to upgrade my Gpu - Which means an upgrade of my power supply too!
Just wanted to make sure the two are compatible with my current tower (GATEWAY DX4840-11E core i3-550 is the exact model - prebuilt with onboard graphics)
The card I have basically chosen to go with is Newegg.ca - SAPPHIRE 100315L Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity which should be good enough for what I use it for.
The power supply is a tossup between two, but am partial towards the OCZ purely from the number of feedback:
Newegg.ca - OCZ Fatal1ty 550W Modular Gaming Power Supply compatible with Intel Sandybridge Core i3 i5 i7 and AMD Phenom
Newegg.ca - Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
Im thinking it all is compatible, but thought i'd ask first - you guys have been very helpful in the past!
