Hello,
A game i play required my buying a new graphics card. the new card states i should have a minimum power supply of 300w. my current supply is 250w. also, i was told i shouldn't install anything higher than the 250w supply it came with. should i A) install only the card and have less power than it states i should, or B) install a 300w power supply also? i know i'll be killing my comp either way, but which death would be slower?
