whats the maximum watts i can put into my packard bell ixtreme M5850? I'm trying to run a Geforce GTX 550 Ti Graphics card and I get a driver error every few hours. I searched online and found it could be my Power supply. I'm sorry i'm not to Pc savy but from what I read my power supplies output is 250W. My Graphics card needs 400W to run smoothly. My system specs are Intel @Core i5 Processor 2300,6 GB DDR3 Memory and 1 TB Hard drive.

Thanks people,i should have said my budget is very limited now. That XFX 450W looks okay. I assume all power supply boxes fit no matter what right? Again not too Pc savy,i'm learning as I go. My Pc's only two years old.

It's only a small ish one it's output is 250W. I'm more worried about the new one coming with the right wires,i need the obvious spare cables to feed my graphics card. Sorry i'm not helping much am I.:)

It's width is 15cm it's length is 14cm and it's depth is 9cm. Thanks SR-71 for the manual. What i'm going t do is take it in store with me when I get a new one. I've looked online and to my surprise it's cheaper in Pc World then on any online service.

Thanks for the help both of you. I do have a little room to spare so I should be fine. I've gave in and got my brother onto it. He's more in to this sort of thing then me but thanks anyway for the advice.
