Re: Would enjoy some Upgrade Help...

I would buy a 400W just to be on the safe side. If you dont have enough power going to your video card then it wont utilize its full potential. That's why the Sli rigs are such power hogs!
I bought a cheapo $40 550 psu and it works fine for me. the reviews were all 4 eggs and higher(out of 5 eggs)

I just hope i didnt make a huge ass mistake lol watch my psu fry my whole system. LOL

Re: Would enjoy some Upgrade Help...

For a psu guaranteed to work with your machine, look up pc&c psu's, they have a 410w one for your model.

lol this^^^ is the one i bought seems really stable to me. but if yu want a really rock solid system try for a Enermax or Antec. These are the best brands i know of (for a value psu).
Hope this helps.

Re: Would enjoy some Upgrade Help...

uhh the 6600GT has 8 pipes compared to the 1600's 12 so i dont know what kind of 6600 you are buying? They are all supposed to have 8.

Evga is usually the best(in terms of warranty and stuff.)

Whayever you do DONT buy the XFX the heatsink sucks SO BAD, unless of course your going to put aftermarket heatsink.
(sounds like im talking about a car.lol)
