I bought the computer from dell.

I would say maybe a barely...

I would reccomend atleast something in the 400-500W for that...

you might pull through but it would be risky...

...also I don't know what other equipment you use, since they also consume part of your PSU...

Well I bought the computer from dell.. so.

I don't know whether to risk building a computer. I have taken intermediate computer tech where they require you to replace the hardware stuff. It looks easy in class but I am sure willing to risk my computer and money.

if you ground yourself properly you won't cause to many problems whikle adding parts....though my friend insists on having me buy the right parts and to put it together for him...

...he's lucky I am nice....or I would charge him extra like the outrageous prices store charge ***cough*** bestbuy***cough**

ok I have a college class starting soon...lol I am using their computer lab right now...

Can you upgrade the dell inspiron 530?

How do I know if the 650 watt psu and the 8800 gt can fit in my case?

Try searching around the info on your mother board , if it's a itx or w/e was it then no, if it's a m-atx or a regular atx case then yea

I just bought a Geforce 6200 that requires a 250w power supply at minimum, well guess what, Im running the card on a 210w power supply and it runs great....

though i dont know the specifics of the 2600 XT I cant tell you that if your within 50w of the minimum your fine

1) What is the size of the case? Full tower, mid tower, etc.?
2) Look up the dimensions online and then see if they would fit by measuring the case.

Darc · 07-09-2008, 11:07 PM

No,just no.

8800GT= atleast 25A in the 12V+ rail and it needs atleast 400W.

That PSU you have barely has 25A,let alone required watts.

Nope, I had a HD2600 Pro earlier on a 250w or a 350w I'm not sure, and it crashed in middle of games, figured out it was my power supply.
