right now my computer is a Gateway 827GM and I'm currently using the power supply it came with which is a Bestec 300w and the Model number is ATX 300. I was wanting to upgrade my video card to the XFX Geforce 8800 GT which i think needs at least a 500w ps. What is the best way to go about getting a new one? I was thinking about going through newegg but I really have no idea whichone to get. Could anyone give me a suggestion as to which power supply to get that would fit my rig and would be able to work with the8800GT. Thanks
im really not that comfortable building my own computer from scratch. I know i'll be spending more money buying a computer thats pre-built so I was wonderingwhats thebest place to buy from that has the most reasonable prices?
A Gateway Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor E2180, 17'' LCD widescreen Monitor and Canon All in One Printer, Windows Vista Home Premium with digital tv tuner, 3gb DDR2 memory, 500GB hard drive, reads and writes dual-layer dvd's and cd's, and an nVidia GeForce 8500 Gt graphics card. All for $899.97. Or could i findsomething better at ibuypower.com?
And my second question is if I do buy a computer at ibuypower does itinclude windows vista?
There was a website that I had been to before where you could put in the type of computer you had and it would bring up a list of all the power supplies that would work with your computer, does anyone know of a website like this?
