So here is my problem: I bought a new computer from HP (model #: a6130n). I am a gamer and the stock graphic card sucks horribly. I have to run Battlefield 2 on lowest settings. So, I looked into getting a new graphics card. The 8800 GT seemed great for a, now, reasonable price but takes too much power for my computer to handle. I looked into PSU's and found that Micro ATX cases have really low output PSU's. The highest I have seen is 420W but the newegg PSU calculator says that I would need 555 watts to run my set up.
So, what should I do?!
It would be great if I could just by an 20 -> 24 pin adapter so I could get a 600 watt ATX power supply. I just don't know if ATX power supplies are compatible with an matx configuration even with the 20 -> 24 pin adapter.
Also, I could get the 2600 HD by Radeon which is a lot cheaper and I could run with a 420w matx PSU but it would be great if I could get the 8800 GT (or is it GTX?).
