hi guys,
im trying to buy a video card for a pc i built. im thinking of this video card:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2042279&CatId=7387
ok, here are my pc specs:
mobo: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 Socket AM3+ AMD 970+SB950 Chipset, Dual Channel DDR3 2000(O.C.) MHz, 2x PCI-Express x16, GLAN, 6x SATA 6.0Gb/s, 2x USB 3.0, 8x USB 2.0, ATX
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=335&item_id=042705
processor: 3.1 ghz, 8 core
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005UBNKZG/?tag=tec06d-20
ram: 8gb (2 x 4gb) (will upgrade later)
case (with psu): 500 watt psu
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_112&item_id=032151
harddrive: 120 gb ssd and 2 TB hdd
i admit my friend helped me build this comp and i dont know much about computers (which is why i provided the links).
would this video card work with my computer? im looking at the psu specifically since on bestbuy's website they have the requirement as 450 watt (as opposed to 600 watts on tigerdirect link i provided above). my intention is light gaming and hd movies. do u guys recommend a better video card if there is something wrong with this one?
