So I was set on getting the 5770 HAWK version, available here for approx 233$ along with buying 1gb of ram when I realised that my PSU might not be able to pull through. Below are my system specs:
Intel Dual Core 2180
iball PSU 400 W with 17A listed on single 12v rail - 2year old.
1 GB DDR2
1 DVD/RW drive
1 SATA 7200 RPM drive
now my budget is under 250$...I'll appreciate it greatly if I can get my needs fullfilled in under 200.
My requirements:
Gaming...I'd like to run most modern games with atleast a playable FPS
No more than 1400x900 resolution gaming....even 1280 will do.
No eyefinity or Dx 11 required ( especially if FPS drops on DX 11)
I can split my budget between a gfx card, ram and a PSU. But I think that my PSU would be able to handle the cheaper cards( under 100$ ones).
Please help.
