Can ur board support PCI-e?
ATI or nvidia fan? Based on 22" monitor below.
Mainstream:
Nvidia GTS250, GTS260 ATi 4870 512MB
Entry:
Nvidia 9600GT,9800GT ATi 4850.
Get the non ref ones. Run cooler. 4850/4870 PCS or HIS if u willin to pay a lil more. PCS is a lil cheaper. $169 for Ati 4870 PCS, last i heard a mth back.
GTS250, get the Asus dark knight one. $200+
4870 performs better den 260. In fact in the whole lot, 4870 is my recommendation. 4850 i thk its about $20 bucks cheaper.
Hope that answers your GFX question.
PSU: Get anything from 500w onwards. Andyson is a good budget brand. Coolermaster Realpower 550w onwards. OCZ/Corsair for better ones.
Shops I dont know, maybe someone else can advice u here.
There you go,
hope u enjoy ur upgrade.
