Hello,

Is it possible to upgrade my 9500gt, i would like a nvidia card, im not really good with computers but ive been looking at the gtx 550.

Spec:
Intel Quad Core Q8200
Asus P5KPL 1600 MB
4GIG RAM
460W cooler master psu

Im not sure what type of model the psu is but i know the brand is coolermaster. Another worry i have is the new card will fit in the case as it looks pretty big, i have a thermaltake v9

You'll likely have issues with your PSU as it may not have the PCI-express power connector. Also, if you intend on overclocking, you'll definitely want to upgrade the PSU. I can't tell what motherboard you have, but make sure it has a PCI-express x16 slot.
