Hey all, looking for a little help before i take the plunge.

Basically my issue is the PSU i'm currently using being this one here:

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2794#sp

At the moment it's running a Phenom X4 965 with 4GB XMS3 (will be 8GB next week) but i'm worried its a little underpowered if i put a graphics card in there too.

Have a budget of around £150 and have been looking at the MSI HD6850 for £85 incase i need to upgrade the power supply theres money left to do so. If the power supply is adequate then i can add more money to getting a better card.


Edit: Thought i should add i'm not a massive PC gamer, just looking for something that can play latest games well and still look fairly decent. Probably be games like FIFA13 and PES2013 in the future.


What do you think guys?

Thanks :)
 
That PSU should be fine for adding any graphic card that require up to one additional PCI-E 6pin. As long as your are not using graphic that needs two PCI-E 6pin or above, it should be ok.

Thanks, i might stick with a HD6850 then unless theres a better card that doesnt require 2x 6pin connectors. Reading around the web it seems this card has enough power for what i require :D
