hello,

I was asking. Is there a maximum wattage for my motherboard because I want a hd 5850 gpu to build in to replace my shitty gt 230, so i want an new psu. my current is i think about 300 watts and thats not enough for the ati card that i want. i was thinking of an corsair 550vx psu.

1) is that psu enough?
2) is there the right amps or whatsoever?
3) are the connections the same as with my older psu so i can all plug it back in?
4) are there two 6-pins 75 watts? (because hd 5850 requires that)
5) if you know much about this could you give me some additional information that could help me because i'm not that good in pc's.

thanks, steve

so if i put a 550vx in my system with an hd 5850, can it still run on the most demanding games? without a lag off power? and what if i buy an overclocked version?
