Yes, the numbers are on top of each other. I couldn't space them out =/ I will look into the 9800GT. I just hope it's not much of a price difference....

Questions regarding Upgrading GFX Card
ok, well if it was laid out how I think, you might have enough power, depending on which card you end up going for, but I would recommend getting a Corsiar 450W unit anyway, they are very good and aren't too expensive either.

450W is overpriced anymore, get a 500W Earthwatts or the 400W Corsair.

Oh, I forgot about the new 400W Corsair, probably mainly because it's not available in the UK, or at least not on OCUK.

Questions regarding Upgrading GFX Card
Okay, thank you for the replies. I think I may have found the one I want.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130334 Now I have some questions about this. 1) will it fit my current Mobo? EDIT : Sorry, my motherboard is a Giga-Byte GA-m57SLI-S4 2) Will I have enough power to run it? 3) Is it a good card? I'm reading the reviews and everyone is real happy with it. The only con I see a lot is that it's long so I'm hoping I can fit it in my computer. ***For my PSU.. these are the numbers I'm reading on the side of it. 500W AC -115V -10A 60Hz 230V 5A 50Hz DC +3.3V +5v +12v1 +12v2 -12V +5VSB MAX 34A 40A 16A 17A 0.8A 2.5A |

That card is OK, however I would urge you go to for a duel slot card, they will run much cooler. That PSU looks like it might be up to the job, seeing as it's only a 9600GT, what do you think Carbon?

Questions regarding Upgrading GFX Card
Why would you buy a 9600GT for $120??!!? That's nearly the price of a 4850 after rebates! We don't make these suggestions just on a whim, sapguar, we're not misleading you here, you're getting a really raw deal if you get that card. Adjusted for performance it should only be around $80, the 9800GT absolutely destroys it.

Wow, wonder why I didn't get email notification when you responded. But yeah, I'm going with the 9800GT. Would my PSU and Mobo still support it?
