Graphics Card

[maxpayne_88]

HI, i am planning on upgrading my graphic card to HIS H467QR1GH Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card. will that graphic card work with my dell dimension e510? I currently have 305watts psu. i am not planning on upgrading the power supply any time soon, so can someone help me figure out if that card will work with my dell dimension e510. if not can someone recommend a graphic card that will work for my dell dimension e510 for gaming

The card specs a max 59W, so yes, you should be fine:

To confirm, see here:

Well, the card position is faced up and only accept card with 1 bracket instead of 2, so this card should work for you:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150467

That card is only take 1 slot and better than HD4670. Yes, 305W is enough to run that card.

which sould i get PowerColor AX4670 1GBK3-PH Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card or XFX HD-567X-ZNF3 Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

the 5670 is the better card but considering you most likely have a P4 in that DELL....

The HD 5670 is not only provides approximately 25% - 30% better performance than the older HD 4670, it also consumes less power; just under 30w...

Hey guys beside the graphic card, i am trying to upgrade my hard drive for dell deminsion e510. Can somone recommend a hard drive tht will work with my system. I am looking for something with 500gb+. i would go to dell website and ask them, but i dont really trust them.

 

[maxpayne_88]

[maxpayne_88]

well ct1615 i check out the link u provided and i notice the harddrive does not come with a sata cable so which cable shouldi get with tht harddrive?

 

[maxpayne_88]

I AM LOOKING AT Rosewill 3.28 ft. eSATA to SATA Black Flat Cable Support 6 Gbps, 3 Gbps, and 1.5 Gbps transfer rate Model RC-3.28-SATA-MM-BK WILL THT FIT WITH SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

 

[Twoboxer]

No.

That's a 3'+ eSATA to SATA cable. One end would plug into a eSATA (external SATA) connector on your case, the other end into an HD outside the case.

Choose a SATA cable from one of these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...on=sata cable&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20

Low price, matching color, straight connector, or 90 degree connector . . . decide which kind will work best in your build.

Cheapest one (black Rosewill, straight connectors) is this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...19230&cm_re=sata_cable-_-12-119-230-_-Product

because the shipping is only $2.

[Twoboxer]

Don't know your OS, so click "Help" and search for "Disk Management". You want to follow the instructions for "Create and Format a new partition (volume)." That will lead you to open up Computer Management . . . and so on.

 

[maxpayne_88]

ok so iinstalled the new harddrive and went to my computer>manage>diskmanagement>and click format and i formated for me is their anything else i need to do before i set program files in my new harddrive?

 

[Twoboxer]

Make sure it has the drive letter you want. Drag and drop something/anything there. If it works, you're ready.
