For a dedicated graphics card you need a adequate psu . Give me your full psu details. Also do you mind playing games

at a lower resolution?

psu specifics-

230 v
50hz
450 w

well i would'nt actually like to play games on lower resolution

how much power do you have on a 12 volts line. also if you want to play in higher resolution @1600*900 you need a
new rig.

15 A on the 12 V line...i can manage in medium resolution.

First before you purchase your gpu you should first change your psu. For a 9800 gt you need atleast 26amps on the 12v

line. If your budjet permits youcould get a gts 250 which gives more performance than a 9800gt. I have given some psus

and a card from newegg. check out and buy.
