Video Card: RADEON X800 Series -Secondary (256 MB)
Acelerator 3D: ATI Radeon X800 GTO (R430)
Monitor: Acer AL1714 [17" LCD] (ETL1809102)
Power: PurePower 430W Thermaltake
My questions are:
1. 430w is enough to move the two new components?
2. The processor e7400 is capable of handling the 4770 graphic card?
3. What are the biggest bottle necks, after changing these two components what are the nexts changes?
Sorry about my english, i'm studying and thanks a lot for your answers.
1. 430W should be enough for that build. You most likely won't even reach 380W on full CPU and GPU load.
2. An E7400 is fine for HD4770, heck it should be fine up to HD4870
3. Your system is balanced after those 2 parts, and you probably shouldn't put anymore money into that system. Because next would be, motherboard, memory and PSU. But if you're going to replace those 3 parts, you might as well wait for i5 and see what prices they start at.
