ok i got my system a few months ago and i need to get a new video card and psu. i planned on doing it for awhile anyway here are my pc specs:
amd 3800+ (i think it says runs at 1.8ghz but i thought it runs at 2.0-2.2ghz i may be tghinking of something else)
1gb ram
is really all you need to know.
anyway i have 300 bucks to spend on a psu and video card i was looking at
a 7600gt,7800gtx or maybe a 7900gt or even a x1900gt
but for psu i have no clue what would fit iinto a acer pc. i know the case is an aspire so that really dosent tell if tis atx or btx. anyhelp advice ot links to newegg stuff will help me oput. i'm just mad because there all this great stuff coming with vista but i really dont have all the money in the world so this pc for under 500 i thought was a greata deal.
$300 isn't going to get you a 7900GT or 1900GT and the PSU neeed to power them.
You should have no problem using an ATX SPU in your case. So don't worry about that.
What PSU do you currently have? Just curious even though it probably won't have enough power for a new video card.
yeah right.
any way you should check new egg, should be able to get a good
videocard for around 200$ us and a good psu for under 100$ us.
thanks alot for your guys help. also if i say want to get a different case say something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811148001 how would i find out what type of case i have so that way my pc stuff will fit in that case?
yeah but the one thing that worries mee is by christm,as time the card im looking at will either come down in price or be unuseable t o play new games. so i would really like to get this card to aply better games other then CS and WOW right now but im jsut like loking at the con of new tech. but on the other hand for christmas i get new pc to make this thing do better and look cooler then i will be happy for the time being. as long as i acn play the newer ebtter games i'll be happy (like riddick etc).
yeah im debateing what to get that will last me longer the 7600gt for about 12 or the x1900gt for 199 + a 40 psu. i want theone that gives me the most power and longer lifespan before having to get dx10.
