I have an ET1331g-03w (pretty sure about the -03w part)
2.8 mhz dual athlon
500 gb hd
6 gb ram
6150 se graphics card
Im trying to add the best new graphics card i can without bottlenecking the cpu..
I've come to the conclusion that the best choice would be the Geforce Gtx 460 or the Asus radeon hd 6770
I also fear that these cards (8.25'' long) might not even fit ?
Obviously i need a new power supply (if the card could even fit) but I'm having trouble finding one with a fan that is aimed in the right direction. Most power supplies have a fan that blows upwards and this won't work since in my box it would be blowing directly into a metal plate.
another note: I need an ATX power supply (standard size)
heres an example of a power supply that WONT work because of the fan location -- Any Corsair wont work.
an example of one that looks correct and would probably work is --- hec X-Power Pro 600 600W Continuous @ 40°C ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339025 but as you can see it is out of stock..
Any suggestions about my graphics card choices (will 8.25'' even fit?) or psu suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am starting to get pretty annoyed with finding stuff that will work.
the whole point of all these upgrades is to play Diablo 3 (btw)
