Hi there! Can someone please help me?
I have an old processor it's a Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz
I am thinking of buying these 3 items,I need help with 2 of them.
The Graphics Card :

The Power Supply :

The Monitor (No Help Required) :

So I decided to start playing some modern games like Battlefield 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5,and I need some help.I have been looking for a good Graphics Card for about a day and I came across this.I've been looking at youtube videos and the Card looks very good.I have also noticed that it needs 500W power supply,my PC doesn't have that much, so I decided to get this Power Supply, it offers 750W and I think that will be enough.
So here come my questions :
1) Do I really need that much power or will a 600W Power Supply do the job?
2) Is this card compatible with my motherboard? I don't know if I have a PCI Express 2.0 or a 1.0.
3) One of my friends is telling me that my processor sucks (his isn't any better) it there any truth in his words?
4) And finally,am I making the right choice here,any difficulties or dangers I could encounter?
I don't know the background of this machine or even where it came from.
Thank you!
