Looking to upgrade my graphics card a bit. Not a huge hardcore gamer, so don't care a ton about perfect performance. Running on low settings doesnt bother me, as long as i get decent fps on FPS games.
Anyway, my main problem seems to be power supply.
Otherwise, i think comps ok.
Power Supply:
LITEON
Model NO. PS-5301-08HA
Says 300W.
Heard V and A/brand is more important then W a lot of the time so, figured id ask around.
(Currently Onboard graphics)
I don't want to play Crysis, or crap like that.
Main games will be darkfall/starcraft 2, maybe guild wars 2.
Currently looking at:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site//olspage.jsp?id=1217029964838&skuId=8968101&type=product
(says 400w needed)
If i get this, will i be wasting money?
Should i bother trying to upgrade card now, or wait forever til i can get both power supply and graphics card?
Some comp specs if it helps:
Operating System: Windows Vistaâ„¢ Home Premium
System Manufacturer: HP-Pavilion
Processor: Genuine Intel(R) CPU 2160 @ 1.80GHz (2 CPUs), ~1.8GHz
Memory: 2038MB RAM
Card name: Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family
Expansion Slots
*
PCI: 2
*
PCI Express x16: 1
*
PCI Express x1: 1
Looking for advice on getting a card, advice on the linked card, advice on other cards, or anything really.
Like very other gamer, i can only afford to upgrade 1 thing at a time, and im impatient.
Thanks for any help.
