Its reaching my birthday and I've been doing some investigation on a new Video Card to run Halo 2 Vista, World of Warcraft and hopefully Sims 2: Seasons at full. I have at the moment an ATi Radeon X1300 Pro 256MB (PCI-E x16) with a 350w Powersupply. I'm running a Intel Pentium D 820 2.80 GHz Dual-Core processor with 1GB of ram (PC3200, believe it or not; Hyundai Technologies), the PSU is an Antec and I'm very fond of it (quiet). Now, the video card I'm interested in buying is the XFX GeForce 7900 GS 256 MB Extreme (I can deal without the Extreme), I've always been an ATi fan ever since I got my 9250 a few years ago, then the VisionTek X1300 PCI and got a new computer, so got an X1300 PCI-E version, anyways. I seen that it was cheap ($169.99, $5 shipping from neweggs) and was amazed at the specs. Should I buy this or not? [H]ard|OCP said that its a great Video card (compared to the x1800 / x1950) and its worth it. Right now I'm just hazy if I should buy the card or not, suggestions?
Oh, and can the XFX GeForce 7900 GS run off of a 350W PSU? Or Do I need to get a 500W like my friend said?
