Hi - hd7750, I'll look for Nvidia now

Hi again: Please post PSU brand/model. Total wattage is not the most important
spec. The amps avail on the +12v rail is, so plz post so I can check, then look for
an Nvidia card.

The only Info I can find on the Power Supply is the following:
Internal 300W (100V-240V)
Form factor: Internal ATX
Total wattage: 300W
Nominal input voltage range: 200-240V/3A (50-60Hz)
I am not sure of the make but I will continue to look to see if I can find it let me know if you can find any Nvidia cards with that infomation.

Can't recommend with that info. Plz remove the side panel of the PC, there's a sticker affixed to the side of the PSU,
post those specs/numbers here.

Looks like a nice build except;
Novatek PSU is a house brand and I can't find the OEM of that model.
My guess is, that even tho it prob has a good warranty, it is probably a
low quality PSU. If I find other info on it I'll post here.
