Hey toms hardware I've used this site quite a bit and finally deciding to make an account to get a further in depth response to my question.
Im currently upgrading my friends computer who I just got into league of legends. Shes having issues with it and Ive came down to the solution that she needs to upgrade her video card and found out to also do that ill need to upgrade her PSU. she only has a 300W power supply and im lookin at these 2 products for a reasonable price fix.
THE QUESTION:
Will these 2 products *video card and PSU* be compatible with the computers MOBO.
Video card: EVGA gefore 8400 GS 1gb pcie x16
