Your PSU will be adequate...
Though I will also advice you to get 2GB more ram.

You should be okay.

The general rule of thumb is a high quality 500 to 550 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the 12 volt rail(s) can easily power a system with any single video card made.

Almost all 32 bit games work on 64bit.
If they don't work (though i have not seen any myself) then dual boot with 32 bit OS...

All other things are good...I mean no bottleneck...


"The general rule of thumb is a high quality 500 to 550 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the 12 volt rail(s) can easily power a system with any single video card made."

Means a 550W PSU from good brands like Corsair,Antec ,Seasonic etc will be adequate for any single card.

Your Tagan is good but not like the ones I mentioned.

true true.. thanks again .. now i understandd..=D .. can my current rig support phenom II x4 965 or 955 black edition?

 

[shubham1401]

Yes it will support those processor...
965 is a little less bang for buck as compared to 955.So get the 955.

[shubham1401]
