I am looking for the best upgrade. I have a 3200+ socket 939. Look at my specs in my sig and tell me if you think I should upgrade cpu or gfx card. And will my psu be able to handle gfx cards like 7900gs, gt ? I have a budget of about $250ca.

thx guyz !

No it can not. It does not have enough amperage on the 12v rails for such a card. It is right at the minimum for the 7600gt. That power supply only has 18a on the 12v rail where as he needs at minimum of about 25a total. If it would have been a dual rail with 15-18amps per rail then yea it probably would be enough.

I ran a 7900GT on a 350W no name 18A single rail PSU for a year, the only reason I upgraded the PSU was switching to an 8800GTS
