i dont really understand how dust in your system affects the fps you are getting but okay. im with paladin on this one.\

well the 4650 is REAL cheap so selling it cheaper being used, you can probably get 40$ at most, thats all you really need to get something better than 4850 imo.

dont think too fast on getting a card, youll end up like me regreting it when you couldve easily gotten something better. this belongs in the tech section(i think its in general)

Id sell for 40, i know i hate taking my time on buying a card u always know u could of gotten something better but u dont really want to hear it from anyone haha, well ill probably get 4870 just dont know about my psu i got to pop open my case

If you get dust in your system like your cpu it can cause the cpu to not cool properly same goes for the gpu.

you don't need 60 amps to run a 4870......you could run it with half of that.

you really need 700-800watt for that big monster to break it to ya.

unless its real quality like corsair or ocz... give me the model name for it

HolyPaladin · 06-28-2009, 11:45 AM

current is 480w

like i said above, i need to know the amp/rail OR the model so i can see it. most likely you will not be able to use any high end

4780 requires 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin connector if im correct

Chrono · 06-28-2009, 11:47 AM

How many 6-pin connectors does your PSU have?
420W may run a 4870 but it might be pushing it. It does however require 2 6-pin connectors however.

As for the other upgrades... i'm not sure if going from a 4650 to a 4850 will give you that much of a performance boost. Check some benchmarks and make sure its worth a hundred whatever dollars to you.

Seasonic SII 430W can handle it, in fact, I know of some users that use it (with a 4870 of course)
No problems

Absolutely not! 480W will run it just don't plug in 6 external hard drives at once.

What matters is the 6-pin connectors(and amps, but I'm sure he has enough).
