Heya guys,
im currently in the process to upgrading my PC
but i dont know if i can just buy a good card & stick it in? i have an average system... Foxconn G31 board, E2100 1.8 Duel Core CPU, 450 watt p/s 4gig 800 DDR 2 Ram, GTS 450 card. about 5 fans (2800 rpm) 1 12 cm fan. Windows 7, 64 bit..
so here's what i want to know, if i this setup can run a GTX 480. or should i just get another GTS 450 n power supply? which will cost about the same as me buying the GTX 480 on E-bay or some? because the PC shops in my area is damn expensive to buy components n stuff...
or else i can just get the G640 CPU w intel 1155 board 8 gig Ram. & just stay with the GTS 450?
come to think of it I haven't seen a shop sell a board that has 2x PCI E16 pins...
Thanks
