Hey all, figured this was best place to post this. xD
Recently went up a local store to try get hold of new PC to run certain games like star wars the old republic or battlefield 3. Info on the PC is:-

ACER X3990 Slim
win7 64bit
intel core i5 2320 (checked benchmark on this score pretty well at like 6035)
4GM RAM
1TB HDD

it didnt say anything on its PSU, and it doesnt come with a GPU (could easily use my old GT430 and replace it at end of month or somthing)

My main question is if anyone knows anything on this model of PC, what its average PSU would be about. :S
any info regarding this would be really helpful thanks, as i need to pay and collect tomorrow or cancel depending. :p
 
Generally prebuilts dont have power supplies that can run a powerful graphics card , and some dont even have a pci-e x16 slot that would let you add a graphics card .

Either buy a gaming computer from a specialist builder

or build your own

Uhm i think its price was £399 (which is round er $614)

Hmm, kinda gives me second thoughts knowing some dont accept a pci-e x16 slot
its main tower was pretty small.
