Graphics card & PSU

fox_hound_33 SG

Hello folks,

I am planning to upgrade my graphics card and power supply. I have zeroed down to the ones listed below:

Graphics Card: LEADTEK WinFast PX8800 GT Extreme (GeForce 8800GT) 512MB GDDR3

Power supply: CORSAIR HX620W Modular 620W ATX Power

Does anybody have any information/experiance to share on these? Btw, if you are recommending a different card, please stick to nvidia 8800GT cards. I am not keen on ATI and have no money to go for more powerful cards.

Thanks

i think it is enough, if you are only going for one card.

since the graphic card is using pci express x16, u need to make sure ur mobo have this slot, and i tink it is powered by a 8pin or 6pin, so ur power supply must have that connection

if u do not have, must make sure that ur card comes with a 6pin or 8pin to molex connection.

if you intend to get a 9800gx2 card, x2 means another processor, need more power, so must check out with the person selling

@MyPillowTalks: Thanks for the input. Actually it's due to the power consumption requirments that i am upgrading my PSU. The one that i have choosen is more than enough to power a 9800GX2 or two cards in SLI mode.

i actually dont prefer to ask the sales person cos there only objective is to make more money and i find thier technical knowledge not up to the mark. I do my research on the internet and forums.

one very important thing----- Does your pillow realy talk??

I saw the specs on your thermalrake, very nice indeed. You definitely don't have to upgrade your powersupply for the 4870X2. Heck, if i am not wrong, your powersupply can take on 3 way crossfire!!!

dunno lea

one shop say not enough if i wanna get another 3870x2

then the shop i bought frmo say enough

hope is enough
