Hey guys, it's me and I wanted to upgrade my system that I built about 6 months ago.
Here are the specs:
i5 2500k 4.2GHz 1.36Vcore
MSI G43 (G3) Z68
Gigabyte Radeon HD 6850
8GB DDR3 1600 MHz G.Skill
Antec 300 Illusion, 4 fans
OCZ Fatal1ty 550w Modular PSU
Now, what I really wanted to do is upgrade my graphics hardware. My point is, my friend is making a computer for the first time and I'm selling him a monitor and my GPU for $200 total. I was thinking of getting a GTX 480. It's currently on newegg for only $210! Pretty big bang for the buck, but the thing I'm worried about is that my PSU won't be adequate. My PSU is quality stuff but it's only 550w and the 480 is power hungry.
What do you guys think I should do? Thanks!
