What do I need to make this system work

[soccer323]

I bought this system and I don't actually no what it will take to operate the system? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321197877317

You'll need to buy a Windows DVD to install onto the system as it doesn't come with an OS.
Either Windows 7 or 8 x64 bit would be fastest for you.

OK I need to stress that if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably isn't.

That PSU is only rated at 420 Watt, or so they say. It's probably rated at 350 watts truly. That means if you plug in that graphics card that comes with it, it will fail on you. It's also poorly made and a bad quality PSU, it's a ticking timebomb in your computer.

You need to get a windows 7 or 8 CD, preferably 64 bit so you can use the 8 gb of ram, and buy a quality PSU otherwise your system WILL fail and when that PSU goes it will take other parts with it. Be sure to buy a plus rated one like this:

Good luck and don't forget to pick a best answer!

The PSU may well be under-powered for the system, but give it a chance once you've got it up and running. There isn't much else on the current system that demands power, but once you start adding stuff (extra drives, fans, powered USB peripherals, etc) then it will probably need upgrading.

If it doesn't run the graphics card, you'll also have the option to return it to the seller as it won't operate as described.

Thanks for all the help, Iwill try it out first as set up then if I go to add anything I will upgrade the PSU. I really appreciate all the help
