I found information at Best Buy's website and it says that you need a 400w
or greater power supply. So this Asus should work. I also compared it to a
less expensive card XFX ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB DDR@ PCI express card. What
do you think of the Radeon card? It's $45 less expensive.
I have used Newegg for reviews and have bought from them before. Actually
just bought my new printer from them. No tax or shipping on the printer.
Yeah, I have to buy a complete system, not confident to put one together on
my own. I do like to upgrade, but not start from scratch.
