Hey,
I am currently using a 3 year old computer and am thinking about making some upgrades to make it last for another year or so until i can afford a newer, more up-to-date one. My current setup is as follows (i apologize if i miss anything):
Asus P4P 800 AGP motherboard
Antec 400W PSU
P4 3.0 ghz
1gb (2 x 512mb) Corsair DDR RAM
ATI All-in-Wonder 9800 Pro
18x Samsung Dual-layer DVD burner
80GB Western Digital hard drive
As far as upgrades go, I would like to add:
1 more gb of DDR RAM
256mb Nvidia 7600GS AGP video card
maybe another 150gb or so hard drive
my question is....Will i need to upgrade my PSU to handle the new additions or should 400W be enough? As im sure you can understand, I dont want to shell out $400-500 on upgrades if my computer cant handle it. Thanks guys, I really appreciate any advice you can give.
