Dear helper community,
I would like to upgrade my graphic card sometime this year, I have the Antec Eco 520W
for what I have read its a pretty decent PSU, I have check a few calculators online about Watts needed for my possibilities, but they show different results, If possible I'd like to go with the highest Radeon HD Possible for this PSU according to http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp, My overclock CPU uses ~105W but if anything I would stock it back to 95W to get a better Graphic card... I was thinking these options... In order of preference:
1) Radeon HD 6950 preferably the 2GB or the 1GB
2) Radeon HD 5870
I am not really a fan of Nvidia, due to the price/performance but I would not mind trying them.
Any suggestions on those specifics or any others?
Thanks in advance!
