Thanks.

Which PSU should I buy? in Desktops · Oct 11, 2009

Any experts out there?
I just picked up this FEEL model power supply, the ESP-300ATX, from essun co ltd.
+3.3V +5V 12V
14A 25A 10A
Do you think this can handle powering a P4, one HDD, one DVD-RW, 1GB of RAM, and an AGP ATI3650?

Buying a new graphics card - (read first post) in Desktops · Sep 10, 2009

darkridge122 said:Hey, I’m looking to pick up a new graphics card—I’ve been hearing rumors floating around that a new series is about to drop, which should hopefully drive down the prices on the current top-tier cards. Does anyone know if I should hold off for a month or two?

My setup:

Intel Core 2 Duo + ASUS + Buffalo (800MHz)
Gigabyte M61PME-S2
2x1Gb Buffalo (800MHz)
Samsung LCD Monitor 22''
My power supply is pretty old and weak—around 340W, if I remember correctly—but since I'm planning to upgrade that along with the GPU, it shouldn't be an issue.

My current card is an NVIDIA GeForce 6600 256Mb

I'm planning to spend up to $533 on both the graphics card and the power supply.

The PC is basically just for gaming, so thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

Honestly, if you go with the 4550, you’ll save a ton on your power bill and keep more cash in your pocket too.

If you've got the budget for it, I'd definitely suggest treating yourself to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295
