[san_sa_rocky]

i will buy a new pc this weekend.
Pentium Dualcore E5300 2.5Ghz
Gygabite G31M s3c
2GB DDR2 800Mhz
and a 4770HD Radion 512M GDDR5

my q is
i have a generic psu! installed with my casing! do i need a psu for my pC?

Personaly i wouldnt use a generic PSU, Get a quality 500W PSU.

Corsair, coolermaster OCZ are all good brands take a look here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=123

If the new system comes with a HD4770 installed the PSU should be able to run it.

If the new system comes with a HD4770 installed the PSU should be able to run it.

here the ratings
+5V >>35A
-5V>> 0.5A
+12V>> 16A
-12V>> 0.8A

THE gfx card comes along with a connector in its package!
i can convert it.

 

[coozie7]

Do NOT do that!
The powersupply is NOT able to run a HD4770.
You will need to get a PSU with more power and at least a single 6 pin PCI-E connector.
Where are you? Not every product is available worldwide.

Bangladesh!!

and what about if i buy
ECS GeForce GTS250 512MB DDR3?

 

[coozie7]

Can you link to some Bangladeshi web suppliers? I'm in England!
If not then look for a PSU with at least: One 6 pin PCI-E connector and 30 Amps on the +12 volt output (this may be in the form of two 15A lines). Wattage is not importaint, the +12v amperage is, because modern PCs draw most of their power from that line (or lines).

 

[coozie7]

The GTS 250 draws more power and most need two PCI-E connectors...Sorry.

its okey! i think then i should go for a PSU!! thanks for ur advice!!
but there is a news.
my friend bought 4770HD along with E5200 + Gygabite G31M
he said he plays all the game with high + 4x
but he didn't need an Extra PSu. :|

 

[coozie7]

That depends on the PSU in his system.
From the information you have given, the unit in yours will not run a HD4770 (it lacks the +12v amps).
And yes, the 4770 is a good card, I hope you get the replacement PSU and start to enjoy it soon

Hey, i see that your new PSU has combined 25A on the +12V, so does that means that when i get my new XFX 4770 it will run on my PSU [+12V=38A combined]? im just abit worried that ma new graphics card may not work.
