I have this PSU now the question is, can I use it with 6950 2gb edition or not?

The reason why am thinking of buying it cuz, I think now its high time for me to change the graphics card. Although the resolution on which i play game isnt that demanding, still thinking of future(might change the monitor to a huge one) am going to buy it. Got an awesome deal from someone he has old stock of it and selling it for $100 and in the other hand am also thinking of buying 7850 oc edition(2gb card). What do you suggest?

The Radeon 6950 does better then the Radeon 7850.
The size doesn't matter, it's the resolution matters, What are you playing at now?

I would go for the new monitor, just because your GPU is better then the 7850.

I have GTX560(non ti) right now. I will be buying either one of these cards. Either its going to be 7850 or 6950 and yeah its true my monitor is too old for it. But like I said earlier. I'll be buying a new monitor also but for now its just going to be a card.

Of course, you don't want a monitor with a GPU that can't support it after all.

Are you saying that 7850 or 6950 both arent going to support this resolution? 1280x1024

No, I was saying it's good that you are getting a better GPU before you get a better monitor.
