Hi all,

I am currently looking at upgrading my GPU to get a little more life out of my PC before I completely build a new one as it's getting old =) . I'm looking at getting an HD 4770 which I also plan on taking with me to my new build once I get around to it (and have more money =P ).

I'm currently running a Pentium D 2.8Ghz with a HD 4670 which works fine but I want a little more. My PSU is an 80 Plus certified, 370W with 27amps on a single 12V rail that I have been using for a little over 6 months now. If I'm not mistaken I should be alright with my PSU and the HD 4770 I linked but want to double check with you guys. Any feedback would be appreciated especially if I am overlooking something here. Thanks guys!

ye it's good enough, that psu should be able to do 400watt easily since it's basically a lower rated ver of the 420 watt, they have same parts but the 370watt has a quieter fan
