Hello all,
My first post here! I did not know much about computer hardware until a couple days ago when I was shopping for a new desktop. I appreciate if you could answer my questions.
(1) I like this ASUS desktop with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 graphic card. The desktop maximum power supply is 300w (as stated in Staples' website) but according to GeForce.com, the graphic card requires a minimum of 400w. Will this be an issue? (How come ASUS built this?)
(2) GeForce.com states that this graphic card supports a max of 4 displays. Can I have quad displays with this ASUS desktop when the maximum power of the PSU is lower than the minimum power requirement of the graphic card? If not, what is the max # of displays I can have with this ASUS desktop?
