So, it’s Christmas, and I got enough money for a semi decent PC. I don’t care too much for bottlenecking, I’d just like to know, if I upgraded the PSU, if I could use the following graphics card with the following computer.

So, here’s the computer http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/018481.htm

And the GPU is http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1159&lid=1&pid=1745&leg=0

From what I’ve read, the computer supports PCI e 16, or something, (I’m not too tech savvy) so it looks like it’ll support it. However, since this is kind of a big cash injection, I’d just like to be sure it’d work.

Also, since the GPU’s overclocked out of the box, do you think I’d need any other fans or stuff? Like I said, I’ll be upgrading the PSU anyway, so extra fans and stuff wont be too much of a problem.

The base computer, the computer linked, has a 230 v PSU, so I assume upgrading’s completely necessary.

Thanks to anyone who helps, and could you include any tips or other info that you guys think I’d need? Thanks, guys.

Edit: I know this website’s not really dedicated to this stuff but, from all the sites I’ve been on, this seems to be the best site to get fast, and reliable replies.

Your GPU link doesn’t bring me to a specific card, but as long as there’s enough space it should be fine. Grab a CX430 with the card and you’ll be good to go.

Oh, did it not? Sorry. It’s a Sapphire Radeon 7770 GhZ OC. Pretty similar to yours, by the looks of it.

What’s a CX430 and why would I need one, sorry? Is it a PSU?
