Question about a power supply

[d3legend]

Wanting to upgrade my power supply, and curious if I wanted to run Diablo 3 on ultra settings, is there any good cards that run with 400 watt supply unit or lower? or should i just get 450-500 ..thanks

Depending on that power supply, a radeon 6850 will be able to run D3 maxed out.

does my power supply need a gfx card connecter for it? do gfx cards minimum require power go down over time? like good cards now in a year from now can have lower wattage?

First, which power supply do you have? You need ONE 6 pin pcie connector.

the only good power supply you posted is the Corsair unit.
The rest are junk to be avoided all all cost.

Do not mean to be harsh just dont want you to waste your money and possibly kill your comp with a bad power supply.
