Well, I can bring with me to the next event, and u can test it for me. Seems to run my current box pretty well, but I thought an upgrade would b nice. QUOTE Depending on the machine you want, get an 80+ certified 550-650w psu and you will be able to run almost anything on the market (excluding a GTX480 which needs a small nuclear power plant) I couldn't afford a 480 even if i saved for a month lol.
