Hey, I'm in the same boat. Haven't been on gamespot in years and, in turn, MDL. I think I remember you, though.

You will be fine , just make sure that the pci-e power connectors go through the 12v that is not connected to motherboard.

There is more than one? I need to google some more on installing video cards. Thank you so much, thought! I thought I was going to have to order a PSU and wait another 2 days . . . Thank you!

I have a Xon-700P12N power supply:

+3.3V _+5V _+12V1 _+12V2_-12V _+5VSB
24A ____32A ___21A____ 22A___ 0.6A___ 2.0A

Max Combined Watt 700

Max Peak 700W

Just bought an EVGA GTX 560 Ti, and its minimum system requirements state that I need (30A on 12V rail). Does this mean that I need to upgrade my PSU? I'm scared of even trying it out--I have my computer in pieces right now, and I'm on the verge of putting in the card; but this uncertainty is killing me.

[QUOTE="a55assin"][QUOTE="gmaster456"]The GTX560 would be a solid choice. 04dcarraher

This is what I have right now:

AMD Athlon II X4 640(3.0GHz)
4GB DDR3 1333
NVIDIA GeForce GTS450 1GB
700W (xon-700p12n)
Asus M4N68T-M Mobo
NZXT LEXA S LEXS - 001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

And what I'm looking at right now is this video card:

Ti Hawk GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi)

Would my system handle it, or do I need to upgrade further?

Thank you in advance.

1TB SATA II

NVIDIA GeForce GTS450 1GB

24X DL DVD+/-RW Drive




It's a pre-made on newegg. 700 bucks. Problem is, it doesn't leave much room for future upgrades. Nearly, none, actually. But since my total is going to be over 1.2k, I'm trying to settle for a mid-range--nothing spectacular, but able to handle modern games on high settings. And, yes, I know it'd be cheaper to buy the parts myself. I'm too lazy for that, though. (And have no idea how to even start building my own--or buying the proper parts to accommodate each other).

I'm just happy the frame-rate problems seem to have been solved. DA: O was horrible on my ps3. Now it's perfect. Hope it's not just the demo. I'd still play it, though. As for the graphics: it's not that they couldn't have made it more aesthetically appealing. It's just that they decided not to. For one, it's an open world. Mass Effect doesn't have the amount of ground to cover that DA does. For two, because it's also on PC, they wanted more sales. And since not everybody out there has a real gaming rig, they toned down the potential visuals. More sales. Less frame-rate problems. Just as fun.

Demon's Souls, if you haven't played DA: O. DS is challenging, but fun once you get a hang of the combat system.
