Think im gonna get the one in the link i posted however theres only 1 in stock lol Also Corsair TX 650 W PSU Big enough to cope with an E8200 and a 8800GT?? |

i got the GTX and my mate has the GT (simon098) we both like our cards he says i wasted my money on the GTX (Although the only problem i ever had with it was that my psu wouldnt give it enough power... which was more to do with the psu than the card...) as he hasnt had a problem but he has a different psu... so i say both cards are good... as for psu... it should be enough for them (the gfx card should have a minimum power requirements in the spec... and the cpu might have one as well... also look on ebuyer spec for it) but you should also facter in what other stuff u have running on ur pc as well... i.e. how many harddrives, CD/DVD drives, fans, if u plan to upgrade the pc and not the psu for a while etc... for example i have a 850w psu for the GTX, 3 harddrives, 1 cd drive, and 5 fans running from it... as well as 3 neons... so imo it should be enough but check with others first

CPU is 65W the cards isnt on the spec but other GT's average at about 240 watts so it shud be ok i think |

the 8800gtx is in no way a waste of money...lol ppl at eocf are still recommending it to ppl who are build new rigs. play games at a high res and the gtx will beat the newer g92 cards at the same colcks,even at low res they will be around the same at the same clocks. the psu you chose will be fine,even tho its a 650 they are the model below the hx series i believe. |
