hi there

Got a Lenovo K330 for the office to do mostly design work, nothing huge but photoshop mostly, the CPU is fine and 12gb ram is what I was looking for, also bought a 120gb SSD to install the OS there and 1.5Tb HDD.

Now, the weak point of this machine is graphics, the one on it is an ATI Radeon HD 6450 1GB and the PSU is stupidly 280w :eek:

What would you recommend for graphics editing, very little gaming if any at all, and without having to shell out $200-300 ? I need I have to buy a more powerful PSU too

thanks for the help

EDIT: Could you recommend a PSU to go with it so I don't have to start a new thread for that ? Only requirement is it HAS to be quiet please :)

that would be fine. If you needed to upgrade t he psu there are several around the $50 mark that would get the job done.
 
Antec 850 on the psu. Mine is quiet but u have to make sure it will fit in case its huge
 
Good choice for the gpu. But, thats a terrible psu choice. Its a 700w psu thats only rated for 42 amps on the 12v rails. My 620w Antec NEO is rated for 48 amps. Can you cancel the order? Here are some better choices;

Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W $64.99 + $3 shipping

CORSAIR Gaming Series GS600 600W $89.99 - $10 mir + free shipping

Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-620 620W $74.99 + $4.99 shipping

XFX Core Edition PRO550W $69.99 - $15 mir + $5.99 shipping

SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W $69.99 + free shipping

Why in the world would 42 amps vs 48 amps make a difference? I still don't understand what would use that much amperage even in the startup mode. Electric motors hardly use a fraction of that http://www.wmprocess.com/electric-motor-amp-draw/.

Genuinely curious.

it relates directly to the quality of the components and how efficient the unit works. The better the components the better the unit.
