The second one should suffice, but if you ever intend on picking up a dedicated GPU down the road, you'd be better off going with the third or fourth option...

Are you guys saying an EVGA Series, specifically the EVGA 400W Series for $117 is actually better than a Corsair FSP400-60APN Super Silent for $100.....

Roger Wood50 said:Hey there 🙂
I'm looking for some advice on which graphics card I should pick up for around $300 $133?
The main thing is that it needs at least two video outputs (for my 22'' monitors, if that matters...). I'm not really a gamer, so just something that can handle the occasional light task would be fine...

Please read the rules.......

Why not just plug that HD5670 into what you already have to boost the PC? At least it's cheaper, if nothing else

Sorry if I'm misreading things and you have other plans.[/QUOT
The motherboard uses an Nvidia GeForce 7800 AGP!!!
That's exactly why the jump to a 5670 makes sense.
Please don't tell me anyone actually thinks a 7800 is faster than a 5670.

Bryan Evans77 said:Frontier Communications, MS, LC Power🤦

The only MS unit worth buying is the rebranded Fortron FSP400W 60APN... everything else is junk...
Frontier Communications is in a league of its own too...
LC Power sits somewhere in the middle—better than the cheap stuff, but nowhere near the top brands like Fortron, Corsair, Seasonic, or Silverstone...
The same goes for CodeGen...

My Powerline 430 w has been running just fine for 2 years now
Athlon64 X2 5000+
4x512 DDR2
3 HDDs
7800GS AGP
2x12cm fans
DVD-ROM
DVD-RW
Floppy
Let me know if you actually find a test where this thing failed......

Nathan Reyes59 said:Exactly, and that power supply is absolute garbage.

In that case, I'll just pick up some Frontier Communications, Microsoft, CodeGen, or LC power.

Nathan Reyes59 said:Your power supply is probably the issue, plus you didn't mention what kind of budget you're working with for a GPU.

actually $200

I've got a 17" LCD monitor here with a max resolution of 1280x1024.
The build will be:
Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB RAM
ASRock 770 Extreme
500GB HDD
PowerLine 430W

What graphics card would you recommend?

VGA PCI-E Sapphire Radeon HD3650 LR 512MB
$106 I've got an HG listing here. Is it actually worth shelling out any cash for this old card? It's just for an aging PC hooked up to a 17" monitor.
Overclocking (Main Thread) in Desktops ·
Northwood 2.4 overclocks quite well, so please don't try to advise me when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about...
Overclocking (Main Thread) in Desktops ·
A buddy of mine just handed me this setup:
cpu Northwood 2.4Ghz (18x33)
mb Asus P4S8X-X
RAM 2x512 kingston 2700
Grafika nvidia 7600gs AGP
napajanje 500w
Question: What's worth overclocking here, and is it actually worth the effort?
Thanks
