Hey guys, I am about to go get a new video card, a 6600gt or something along that line. Well I've been hearing you need a strong PSU to support the strong video cards. I don't know if this is true yet.
I have a PowerSpec, computer which has a p4 2.8ghz, 1gb DDR pc2700, 80gb HD, a Audigy 2 Value and a 250watt PSU. Will I need a new PSU? If I do need another PSU how many Watts should I aim for? I don't do anything fancy on my computer, just normal home stuff, movies, games and such. And can I get good PSU brand recommendations, I want a quiet PSU that won't cost too much. Thanks!
EDIT: NM I got all the info I needed! As well as a PSU.
