Getting a X800 GT 256

[Leopardi]

Hi..

I am going to buy a Sapphire Radeon X800GT 256Mb. Only thing I need to know now is that will it work on my 300W PSU?

I'll put my specs here:

Amd Athlon XP 3200+
2x512Mb kingston ram
R9600xt 256
nVidia nForce 2 NF7
120gb HDD 8mb

It'll work fine; I run an X800 Pro with a 300 watt PSU and have no problems

glasseye, what power did you have? A Q-tec ****ty one? I ordered Fortron 350W superquiet psu, hope it works. What do you think?

My X800pro is fine on a 350watt ... they arent too expensive but remember ... higher spec cards need a seperate power source. TOO POWERFUL FOR MOTHER BOARDS !!! :P
