Hey there
I am looking at upgrading my 8800GTX to a GTX470 ... with the current setup in my system specs <-- will my PSU have enough juice to run it all fine ?
I have read that a 500-550w or more is needed for the average gaming pc (whatever that means) .. in the same article in my favourite pc mag the power consumption for the whole pc was only like 380w at full load playing crysis maxed out @ 1920x1080 with 8xAA and 16xAF ?
Should I get myself a new PSU also or stick with the one I have .. and if I should get a new one what wattage is going to be enough ?
Cheers
