Hi...
I need some advice about a video card upgrade.
I have a Shuttle SP35P2 Pro which I have been using as my main gaming rig. Currently has an Intel Q9300, 4GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2, 120GB CRUCIAL M225 SSD, 1TB Western Digital Black, and a 512MB BFG GTS250.
I am looking to go from my 512MB BFG GTS250 to a 1GB EVGA GTX460. My main concern is if I have enough power to drive the new card with the 400W PSU in my case.
My first obstable is that the GTX460 requires TWO 6-pin connectors instead of ONE for the GTS250. This can be fixed by getting a splitter like this one. So now the only thing is will the GTX460 draw more power than the PSU can handle?
I am looking to upgrade around Black Friday. Please help!
