I have a 350watt PSU from Fortron. Its currently running this sytem:


2.4ghz P4C
2 sound cards
Tv Tuner
200gig HD
CDrw Drive
9800non-pro


If i replace the 9800non-pro with a 6800gt or something similar will it still run decently? I read somewhere onlien that 350watts is the minimum required power for the card, and my system isnt too taxing.

What do yall think, i really dont want to have to upgrade my PSU...:(
 
I used to have a high end headphone setup for music so i would use my Audigy for games and the line out on my AV-710 (the other sound card) and run that through an amp and listen to music on that. it sounded a lot better than the audigy


ive since sold my headphones (sr-225) but i still have the sound card in there.
 
I was running a 6800GT from a 235W POS that came with my case for a while and it worked OK. As long as it's a decent 350w you'll be fine.
