Hi guys.
You can see my rig specs in my sig.
I saw in the March PCF they had a graphics card that doesn't need a PSU plug: Zotac GeForce GTS430.
I want to know if its worth getting that card for R 1k or getting a bigger and better PSU and then a Graphics Card from the mid range...
I feel that i won't really be needing more than the Zotac 430 because i harldly have time for games. i mostly play my oldies like fallout 3. My machine is basically used for watching movies as i don't have a tv anymore and for web browsing and games.
Would the zotac work for my machine or would it be better for me to get new PSU.
other suggestions are welcom eg... Get more Ram instead.. this is something i know i need to do but my motherboard only has two slots and both are taken so two get any improvement i would need to get 2 x 2GB sticks.
Upgrade my Graphics Card? or PSU and Graphics Card?

Wow uh. Would suggest getting a psu and a gpu. A good psu wouldn't hurt! Your only gona gain from it and if you decide to upgrade further at a later stage you won't be as limited

I'm guessing your on a tight budget. If so a 550w will do the job fine.
