Here are my system specs
Power supply - Corsair 400w CX
Processor- Intel E8400
Motherboard - ASUS P5QL - EM
Primary hard drive - WDC 160gb
Secondary hard drive - Samsung 500gb
In PCI slot - Leadtek Winfast Dtv 100s
Ram - Kingston 2gb
Transcend 2gb
Graphics card - Nvidia 8400 gs 512mb
Heres probably something that's important - I have a Thermaltake V9 Black edition case. i have a 12 cm front fan , a 23cm side fan , a 23cm top fan , and a 12cm rear fan running off the power supply , too.
I decided about a month ago to start saving up for a better graphics card. Now i have about $180AUD to spend on a graphics card. I have found a good GTS 250 that i like , and i have also found a good OCed 9800gt.
Heres my question.
I have began to think that maybe a GTS 250 would be a bit much for my power supply. im not sure 400w is enough for a GTS 250. I have read EVERYWHERE that my Corsair 400w cx is very good quality, but im still not satisfied that 400w is enough for a GTS 250 with my system.
If the specifications for the Graphics cards i found are needed i would be happy to post them.
So
Is it recommended that i get a new power supply?
Cheers,
