maybe this new card? draws less power. has the molex to 6pin adapter you PS doesn't have. and is a little faster than the 460.... little faster than the 6850 too.

wow i like that card a lot and its a bonus that it comes with assassins creed 3 also it comes with a 6 pin convertor does this mean i dont have to upgrade my power supply?!

 

[swifty_morgan]

yes.

 

[dom8111]

yes.

i know a lot of people say taht the stock power supply for computers are generally bad is this true with my pc?

 

[swifty_morgan]

in theory it should have enough power. see if you have 2 pare 4pin molex connectors available. and yes, this is where most companies will cut corners, but where don't they?

The system is powered by a 500 Watt Turbolink branded switching power supply with model number ATX-TL500W-BK. This is a brand that we haven't heard of before. It has two +12V rails with +12v1 being rated at 16 Amps and +12v2 being rated at 18 Amps. This power supply doesn't have any PCIe 6-pin power connectors for video card expansion, which is a bit of a bummer as we always like PCs to have an upgrade path. We took a look around the system and found all the power connectors were used except for one 4-pin molex connector and a SATA power connector.

thought you were on a budget?

i don't have time to shop but this would be the minimum I would get for your rig.

[swifty_morgan]

ok let me go check right now sorry i mis understood you

 

[dom8111]

ok well it doesnt look like theres any more left over only one 4 pin so im going to buy the power supply u linked with the graphics card right?

 

[swifty_morgan]

like I said, that would be the minimum. not a bad supply. I could go better but don't know the budget.......... or if that's it.
