an HP a6119n and an evga geforce 8600gt

[shadowman14]

hey,
I just purchased a hp desktop, the a6110n and really enjoyed the kickass dual 2.3 ghz cpu. I later relized the really bad 6150le budget graphics card installed. well after doing some reasearchi purchased a geforce 8600gt which was the right balance of power and $. but I was wondering if I need to worry about the psu already installed. can some1 tell me if I need to buy a new psu?

Do the research of required 12v amps and wattage needed to power the 8600GT. You didn't mention what power supply you have including wattage and 12v amps. I don't feel like searching the HP website for the information.

List your complete specs.

It looks like your hp comes with a standard 250w psu. Which would not be good enough to handle your new video card. After doing reseach on your card all you really need is a 350w psu with around 20amps. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104953
Check out that psu. I love FSP.

your really specific... duel 2.3 ghz cpu... and your right a 6150le it the worsest of the worsest.

i think a new PSU would be a much apreichated upgrade.

pleae make sure you actually havea PCI express slot many 6150 are bulit on to the mother board which dont not acept a PCI e
