I want to get a new card but it appears that i will need a new psu aswell if i want anything decent.
I was wondering what is important for a psu apart from the 6 pin connector and wattage. Also, is a psu hard to install? I wouldnt want to risk breaking anything as i use my pc often. By budget is roughly £100 and i was thinking maybe 30 on psu, so best card around 70quid? |

The amp ratings on the 12v rails are also of prime importance.
Your components (specifically the card in this case) require a minimum amount of amps to function properly. But cards in your price range (if buying new) tend not to need a 6pin connector as they are powered purely by the pci-e port. What card were you thinking of? And what card do you have now?
