I was recently given an HP 8100 Elite that has an i7 880 CPU. The only add in card is a crappy AMD 4670 GPU, that must go ASAP. Reading GPU reviews, I think I have settled on a GTX670 GPU, but just realized that power considerations are in play these days.
Other components in the system:
BD drive
Intel 520 SSD 240GB
2 500GB HDD's (can remove if needed)
4x4GB RAM for 16GB
Sound and NIC are on board
In short, is a 320 watt PS sufficient? If not, what level of GPU wattage should I be ok with? I don't care about overclocking, other than what the GPU may come with factory set.
Thanks!
PS: If there is some guide out there for this issue, I would greatly appreciate a link. Been out of the PC gaming scene for about 5 years, but want to get back in. Still remember playing Doom on DWANGO dialup!
