not really i noticed that i need to get a new PSU cause the video card needs two 6pin PCI-e and i only have one currently .

also i am getting lots of negatives on that video card

edit:

i am going to go along with
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150316 to save some money and it wont require two 6pin PCI-e

i have a really quick question, i found a card which is pretty much the same as the other one i posted but its 20$ cheaper, it still requires two 6pin PCI-e but i see that the video card includes a Molex to 6-pin PCI cable. Can i just use that instead of buying a new PSU?


also should i get a CPU fan or heatsink?

I'd go with a Radeon 4850 and a dual core instead.

And yes you can use the adapter, but if your PSU is that old it might be a good idea to buy a new one.

Why the dual core?

I was also recommended the 4850 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16814125237

and the reviews for it are pretty good

umm the PSU is not that old i actually got my PSU and Case a few months ago.

What brand and how many watts are on that PSU?

I say dual core because most applications are not completely optimized for multicore chips. For the same price you can get a faster dual core. Really it depends on what apps you will be running the most.
