Hi,
i want to buy a radeon 7780 for my old desktop pc.(matx)
I have several questions regarding that.
My Tower is a Antec Fusion Remote.(original 400w PSU)
Mainboard P5N7A-VM,8GB DDR2,Intel Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz.
The CPU cooler is a SILVERSTONE NT01-E. I have to extra fans running
in the tower. Nothing has ever been overclocked or modified. I use the gforce 9300 onboard psu.
Now i want to switch to the 7780 1GB or 2GB.
I read it needs 500W at least, so i wonder if it works on my system?
What does the watt number on a psu mean? does it mean my 400w uses 400 all the time or just if i have a million programs running at the same time?
Do you recommend that card or is it overkill for my old system and i should get something cheaper (7750) instead?
thanks
