Hi,
I'm planning on buying a Gigabyte 512MB 8800GT, upgrading from my old 7600GT. I have a 430w Thermaltake PSU right now and probably it won't be able to handle the 8800GT.
So my questions are;
1. Supposing the 430w can't handle the 8800gt, but I get one anyway, for how long will the PSU go before something happens?
2. If something does happen, what will? I mean will my computer explode if the PSU can't handle the pressure, or will it break some parts inside, or will it just power off?
3. I will get a new 550w PSU sooner or later. Will this PSU be good for a Pentium D 3.2 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, and an 8800GT?
ATX Thermaltake 550W (W0101R) Black, Active PFC, 12cm Fan
+5В - 28А; +12В1 - 14А; +12В2 - 15А; -12В - 0.3А; +3.3B - 30А; +5В SB - 2А
Thanks to whoever answers my questions
