What current power supply do you have in your PC? A lot of emachines power supply units are terrible. As for the graphics cards, do you have to use bestbuy? You will save a TON of money if you order online instead. This for example is much faster than any of the choices you've listed: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130062
thanks for the reply... i changed my power supply to 400w... is that site reliable? i dont have to buy from bestbuy... does the brand matter? is it a good brand? does this card increase my pc performance more than the other cards... is it compatible with my processor?the card you showed me is a 256 gddr3... is it faster or better performance thank 512 ddr2? thanks again...
yep, it's faster than 512MB DDR2, the Brand of the graphics card doesn't matter too much, but with the PSU it matters a lot. What brand Power supply did you get? Newegg is very reliable I'm told.
i have a DYNEX 400 watt power supply... the video cards memor fast so its gonna increase my pc performance right?... its not gonna have problems with my processor right? whats PSU by the way... thanks...
Hmm, Dynex, that's a pretty ass brand. No offense, but I've never heard of it before, which is never good with Power supplies.
i bought it at bestbuy... here it is if you wanna take a look at it... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...at0507009&type=product&tab=1&id=1174091945952 so what do you advice??
My usual recommendation is the Corsair HX 520W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139001&Tpk=Corsair+520W
so have having all of those increases my graphics and pc performance? its not gonna break my processor, cpu, everything right? just kidding... ;-) im just making sure bec. cant afford to buy another pc... hehehe
thank for the tip... the power supply you suggested is great but its too much for me... what about these 2? w http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148008 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153028 what do you think of brands thermaltake and cooler master? any great power supply you can recommend under $75....
