I'd just have a more reliable PSU is all. Not saying it wouldnt work. Though at least its an Ultra one and not one of the even more lame Diablotek ones Tiger usually puts in the bundles.

Yeah but that doesn't mean that the PSU can output the full 450 watts on the +12v rail, as a PSU should be able to do. It probably can (you're right 33 amps should be enough), but it's still be nice to see it.

I actually don't see in the specs anywhere that the power supply has any 6-pin connectors. You could use something like a molex-to-6 pin adapter, but the fact that it has no peripheral connectors is again worrying. I might be blind though.

Anyways the most power you could get out of a non auxiliary powered card would be a Radeon 7750, which only requires the power from the PCIe slot to function.

^ That's why most of my computers now are getting power supply replacements. I'm replacing TR2's and Dynex's I had for awhile with mostly Antec. I even replaced my main Ultra LSP in my main comptuer for an Antec (I didn't know about power supplies when I started building, now I do)

The 6850 beats this card.

Well the 6850 you linked's core clock sure doesnt beat 550ti's core clock. Idk i know its a hard decision on a video card (im also looking for a new video card)Figured a 550ti might work nicely.

Core clock isnt everything. The 550Ti honestly.....sucks. I would rather have a 6770 than one of those.

The 6850 is also much faster than the 550Ti. At 550Ti price, there are much better options.

Also all of the GPU's we've been discussing should fit in the case.

Don't pick me, I have enough of them. Give it to claysm or someone else.

And for rybo1227, the 7770 is a pretty good card as well, on par with the 6850 and uses less power.

You can't compare the clocks of nVidia cards to AMD cards. Their shader cores and stream processing units are completely different architecturally. nVidia's shader cores are clocked a lot higher and do more work per clock cycle, but AMD utilizes a lot more stream processors. So the individual stats are apple and oranges, which is why benchmark results are used.
