Need to upgrade graphics card. Help
upgrading my dell 4700's graphic card

The link above is basically the same as me. I want to get Newegg.com - EVGA 512-P3-N801-AR GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards , but I don't know if it will work for the mother board i have. I have the same mother board as fridaygi.

Please help i would really appreciate it.

Thanks

The card will fit the motherboard: YES.

Your problem is your PSU.

Although it MAY work it will not work WELL.

You need at least 500 Watts with a dedicated 6 pin PCI_E in order for good performance.

No guarantees since I'm not using Vista, but I believe it should run CS:Source perfectly. Lol!

Your Processor, RAM and Graphics card absolutely kick butt lol. Kicks my butt anyway.
