Hey people, I'm new around here and I was hoping someone might be able to help me out.
I just bought a new computer, specs are:
2.53Ghz Core 2 Duo E7200
4096MB DDR2 Interleaved RAM
250GB SATAII Hard Disk 7200rpm
Elitegroup 945GCT-M2/1333 Motherboard; 1333 Mhz FSB
Inno3D GeForce 8600GT 256MB DDR3
Windows Vista Home Premium
450 watts PSU
I think I'm not too satisfied with the graphics card, and as the title says I am intending to upgrade to a 4850 but will a mere 450 watt PSU be able to handle the load? How do I calculate the power required by all the rest of the individual components?
Please help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
