Hi, i would like to change my current graphics card, which is a poor ASUS geforce 210 silent, the problem is : i only have a 365w psu ( Active PFC, 85% efficient ), i don't know any suitable graphics card, I'm thinking about the HD 7750, it requires 400w, but they say Radeon's cards require less than what AMD say ( not sure about it), so i thought maybe this one would work, the
another issue is that i'm planning on upgrading the CPU to the latest Core 2 quad, which i think draw more power than the Core 2 duo i have as well as the ram to 8gb, so please consider this, I don't want to change the graphics card 2 times ^^
note that i have an HP Compaq DC7900 Convertible Mini tower, so changing the PSU is not an option.
I have the following specs : a Core 2 duo E7400 @ 2.8GHz
RAM : 2x 2Gb DDR2, 400MHz, PC2-6400
HDD : 160Gb 5400rpm
DVD-ROM
here is the computer specs : http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetHTML.aspx?docname=c04290693
Thank you for any suggestion.

I'm in the process of upgrading my DC7900 SFF and you said you replaced the PSU in the DC7900 before? What PSU did you replace with and what graphics card are you using? I'm trying to purchase a new card that can have multiple HD monitors (w/HDMI) attached but I'm having issues finding both :-(. I greatly appreciate your assist! Thank You!

 


I used a standard atx psu (corsair vs450) and was using a hd7850 at the time?
