ot the best thing ever but it will run every game out their atm so idc much also just got a Logitech G5 Mouse


Are you being sarcastic about that?

That card wont run any new games on high at HD res.

And why did you buy a generic PSU that's only 450 wats..?

:wat:


I bought the 450Wats as i only needed 400 so always go around 50W over what you actually for safety reasons and yes it will run every game i never said on high settings read it through...


That still does not explain why you bought a cheap power supply..

And what if you wanted to upgrade your rig in the future and you couldn't because the lack of wats.

-_-



I wont upgrade it for a few years I'll just get dads friend to build me a new one lol?

The majority of PSUs have the best efficiency at around 50% load. So if you generally use 400W then 800W is recommended. Now it's not a big deal, but just saying.
Biggest issue with being this close to your actual usage is what Generation mentioned. If you were to replace your GPU for example with a newer, better card there's a big chance your PSU cannot handle it, resulting in a boot failure.

And your current GPU might be able to play all the newest games out there, but there will be quite a limit on your frames per second. Just visit the following page for more information: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


Now don't take any of this the wrong way though, I'm just giving you some pointers for next time you're putting something together. If you need help with anything just let me know.


So you wernt blowing your own trumpet then?
