Hey all. First post. Nice to meet everyone. I am sort of news to computer but and I need a new video card (I want Oblivion on max settings T_T) Well here are my Specs.
P4 3.4
1.5 GB RAm
ATI Radeon X300/500 Series (Upgrading to ATI Radeon x1900xt)
Now here is my question: Well..more than one hehe.
First Question:
I need to get a new power supply because mine is only 303 (something around there?) watts and doesn't have a PCI-E connector. Now I need to get a power supply and I was wondering which one to choose. I know I only need a 450 but I am going to get a 500 watt one just to be on the safe side. Now I am worried and not sure if my power supply will fit my sony case. How do I figure this out? I was planning on buying this one:

What do you think?
Second Question:
My sony case is not too big, it is probably small/med. It is the size of most of the sony cases. Let me show you.

There. Now would the power supply most likely fit my case?
Another worry I have is that when I installed the power supply and the x1900XT is that will my computer get too hot? On the right side it was a line of holes going down to give it some air and little tiny vents. Other than that I have some fans inthere. Is my case too small for it? Or should it be okay? I don't want to worry about overheating or running super hot. And would the noise problem be much of an issue? (I don't really care..but do you think that case would applify the noise because of being too small?) If you need any more information let me know! Thank you everyone.
