new vid card upgrade..

[RussianSensation]

The thing is 5670 is an overpriced piece of ****. You would be way better off getting a $30-40 PSU (search Newegg for those with MIR), and get at least a 5750.

20 amps combined max? not too bad. I would vote a yes for a 5750. It only pulls 8 amps.
Does it have 6 pin pci-e connetor?

The one on the right is what you need if you don't have the one on the left in your psu.

Thats called a molex to pci-e adapter (the one on the right.).

Now most 5750 cards should come with the adapter in the box.

You just stick the 2 4 pin molex connectors in the 6 pin adapter and it should work.

Now look in your case do you have 2 unused white molex connectors?
They are the ones connected to your harddrive. and dvd drive.

Here is where you buy the adapter in case it dosen't come with you 5750 card.

Get this card, this one comes with a 4 pin to 6 pin adapter! This way you only need 1 free molex connector. Only 130$ shipped, which a great price.
