You aren't going to get anything high-end with a 400watt PSU, no matter how much you want to.

i beg the differ a retarded freind of mine runs a 260 with a 300 watt ps

nope ... not full of shit this time .... if i hadn't seen it myself i wouldnt have belived it either. hes useing adapters to turn 4 of his molex cables into 2 6 pins. plus hes runnin 2 dvdrom drives 2 hdd's a tv tuner card and a wireless network card.


like i said ... hes retarded ... i told him it was a miracle it didnt all fry and that he needed a better psu. but his little but buddy at best buy told him i didnt know shit. if ya can belive that ... i dont know shit.

I barely ran an x1300 (min 400watt PSU), 1 HDD, 1 DVD drive on a 200watt PSU.
I highly doubt his rig is even remotely stable.

lol i never said it was stable ... he cant even play roller coaster tycoon 3 right. but does he listen... nope. his "geek squad" dip shit says "that aint the problem ... he needs more ram."

this is all also part of the reason i started calling dumb ppl "Ricktarded"

Oh the irony... :lol:

i got a 650 antec true power (my psu wont be problem) and i wanna run a 5770 into a pci-e 1.0 should run fine..? i dont expect his full capacity but atleast should be running..
btw my chipset is nvidia nforce 590 sli

ty tech support, i read about that but i wanted a real opinion.
btw my mobo model is the last one evga launch for AMD

thanks for ur replys..i need something a little high end so im going to stop being a cheap bastard and upgrade this system or buy a new rig

My bud who I taught building computers he went to school and got a nice job trouble shooting, and networking at
a major hospital. I went with him to look at his Aunts laptop. It would give the lights, but not post anything.
He told her the MB was fried, and needed major repair. She wanted to salvage pics, and what not, so he started to pull the HD. I said start simple then go up! Pull the battery then put it back in. It worked! Closest thing to a hard boot I could think of cause I dont see a lot of lap tops. Then I set up a wireless router and network. Yah the painter did it!! LOL
He wont hear the end of it, I promise !!! LOL
