Hi all , quick question , will my computer be able to handle the MSI gtx 650 ti ( 400 watts needed ) While My specs are :
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.63 MHz
Power supply 375 , 4 GB ram DDR3
All from Dell Xps 420.
 
Solution
No way would I risk a cheap oem psu on a card like that. Your ideal option for that card (but not anything bigger) would be a corsair cx430. These are well made and well priced. If you plan on further upgrading later get a cx 600 or an xfx 550 watt.
The psu you have now may run at first but will fail in weeks, and may take out the rest of your computer!
(Yes, we have all tried it and cried)

Sorry, I thought you meant the power supply I wonndered how you got there so fast. . No, the price for the card is a bit dear but its from a shop so not too bad. Look at the psu's in the shop and post tomorrow.
Actually, in euros it is a good price. I am struggling with 3 currencies here.
