Right Im waiting for the 450watt psu to come in stock then it'll all be sent to me some time next week

. I can change my order in the meantime.

Now whilst Im waiting I've seen i can add a hd6670 graphics card to the motherboard for increased performance for 50quid. Is the 450watt psu good enough if i decided to add a hd6670 card?

also in future could i add the hd7850? if so is the psu big enough?

cheers si

You are welcome.

If you able to buy a slightly bigger Psu, then it would be a better long term investment. But the 450W is ideal for the budget and system.

the 450w will be fine.
but its always best to try for a 600w+

it says on it ezcool atx-500 jsp

I had to put an old EZCool 700w in my machine to replace a faulty TX650. This thing is a peice of crap! Had to disable my 5850Xfire as when I ran anything that worked the cards, the system would reboot. Good choice on the upgrade.
