Vista - decision..

**kiddieboy12** · 10-08-2009

well, i decided, to start, renovating my old computer, i have been on a laptop, and i want to game! a bit, (school

)

anyways! i bought this.
Newegg.com - COOLMAX CA-450 450W ATX v2.01 Power Supply - Power Supplies

and

it has +12v@22 rail, BUT
on the ACTUAL product, it has
12v@17A
12v@16A

supposing the worst.. 12V@22A, what video card would you get, i wanted a 8600gts, but it needed a 6 pin connecter which i do not have.
i have narrowed my choicees to this
NOTE*before my system had 250watt PSU, now i upgraded to 450watt, so i have approx ~~200watt to spare

here are my choices

Newegg.com - EVGA 256-P2-N753-TR GeForce 8600 GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards (not really..)

Newegg.com - ASUS EN9600GSO/DI/512MD3/V2 GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards (looks better than ^_^)

Newegg.com - ASUS EAH4650/DI/1GD2/A(LP) Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Low Profile Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards (dont want the game,,)

Newegg.com - Suggested Products avoiding)

an geforce 8600gts with NO 6 PIN, (dont have one..)

but this might work, not sure O.o

Newegg.com - EVGA 256-P2-N762-TR GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards (4pin, not 6 pin??? TYPO?)

and 2600XT

pick one

EVGA seems to give a good return on performance for the buck.
