Videocard Question

[Snee]

I'm running a gf6600gt on a 250w supply.

But I have a shuttle, so it's a bit different. For starters my psu is high quality.

At any rate I can't stress the importance of having a good psu, and I'm not talking about wattage so much as quality.

You don't want some random cheapo supply to break down and send random jolts through your mobo and other hardware on its way out, trust me.

EDit: and I have seen that happen to people twice, irl, so there.
Skillian: I think it's been the number one cause of mobo death for years now.

I see PSUs take out mobos probably twice a week, on average.

LP, this is nothing to take lightly.
You are much better off getting a good PSU now and waiting on the vid card.

However, I know you won't heed this advice, so good luck.

Should we reserve space for your "OMG, I'm Fuxored!" thread now or wait a few days?

Yeah, are antec psu's any good? I could pickup one of those.

Antec, Enermax and OCz all make quality psus. Stay away from thermaltake psu though, I (and many others) have had bad experience with them.

NO! That PSU should only cost like half as much as $120! Stay away from Office Depots as their items tend to be overpriced...
