Mainly play games such as Dirt2 and Dirt3. Dirt2 plays ok at the time, Dirt3 works however only very few details.

All advice welcome, thanks in advance!

Hello

The R7 AMD 250 or 260 according to the brand and the model will have enough performance to run Dirt 2 and Dirt 3.  The Corsair CX500m is a good choice.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210y - upgrade power supply and graphics card?

    You just bought a new computer that I am generally satisfied, but it is not fit to play top games I like (for example Metro 2033).  I was looking into upgrading my graphics card and discovered that I have a 300W power supply.

    I heard that HP computers are notorious for difficulties in upgrading equipment thanks to the compact design the area.  What power supply and graphics card I should be able to use?  Information links and price would be very appreciated.

    I use my LG HDTV 32 "as a monitor and my current graphics card allows me to connect using an HDMI cable and play movies blu - ray via my PC.  I want to keep this feature.

    Thanks for any help!

    You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet.  Here is a list of the things to consider:

    1. Specifications
    2. Total power - important
    3. amperage 12 + v - important
    4. Modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
    5. Warranty
    6. I7 and SLI ready
    7. Efficiency rating
    8. Cost
    9. The physical size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths

    www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies.  Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...

    The amount of amperage + 12 volts is important when choosing a video card.  Depending on the size of the Cabinet from HP a 550-600 watt PSU should be plenty.  The NVIDIA GT 460 should be a good choice.

  • Power supply and graphics card update

    Hello

    I own a HP p6610f desktop computer and want to upgrade my power supply and graphics card.

    Power supply:

    I saw recommended Corsair CX500 and I found a CX500M of Corsair for sale. I'm fairly certain that it will work with the graphics card, I'm considering the purchase. The CX500M would work with my device?

    Graphics card:

    I have need later in the technology of graphics card but I still want to improve my current AMD Radeon HD 4200. I plan an AMD Radeon HD 6570 because it meets my needs and fits my budget. Would this work with my p6610f and a PSU Corsair CX500M?

    If it helps, I want to update the graphics card to play some place the modern games (Assassin Creed Revelations and maybe Assassin Creed 3 on low heat) and possibly install a Blu - Ray player.

    I ask because I can't seem to find an answer clear enough to calm my fears to ruin my computer if I go with these two options.

    Thank you!

    Food: The CX500M of Corsair is a great choice and will definitely enter the computer.

    Graphics card: you can get a Radeon HD 6670 for the same price as a Radeon HD 6570 and on a faster card of 20 to 25%. Or a little more money, you can get a Radeon HD 6770 and about 125% faster. In all cases, measure from the rear of the case further along the PCIe x 16 location plan. Just shy of an obstacle comes as long of a card you want.

    How to replace a video card.

    Corsair power supply (psu) I used can be mounted with the fan facing upwards or downwards depending on where fresh air is available from. Some PC cabinets have mesh ventilation where the PSU Monte so the fan should face the ventilation mesh so that fresh air can be brought into the power supply and then exhausted at the rear. Some HP computers have slots to air ventilation through the upper edges of the flanks and in this case, the PSU is mounted to the top fan. Otherwise, the Assembly of the fan should be such that the PSU will draw air from inside the Cabinet.

  • HP ENVY 700-527c: upgrading of power supply and graphics card, need help

    You just bought a NVIDIA - GeForce GTX 970 4 GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - silver/black for my HP ENVY, but the food I have in my computer does not support this graphics card. So I was wondering if I bought the Black Corsair - CX series modular CX750M 750W ATX Power Supply - if it could fit in my computer and function properly with the graphics card and all the rest of the computer.

    Almost thought you made a mistake, but you do not have BIOS rev 8 because this unit originally comes with WIN 8. The GTX 970 attracts only 145W. Corsair CX750M is3.39"x 5.91"x 6.30".  It is profoundly in your case, without connectors.   You have so much room between the existing power supply and connectors for DVD?  NVidia recommends a 500W, I would say the 600W modular version.   Its depth is 5.51 ".

    Hello

    Consult this publication document for more information.  Open your PC and measurement.  The NVIDIA 560 TI type is 9 "long.

    I don't see a problem with the NVIDIA TI 560 and the m9753uk.

    You will need a power of 500 watts.  The Corsair CX500 is an excellent choice.

    The power must be over 300 watts. I think at the Antec EarthWatts EA - 500 d Green 500W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE certified Active PFC power supply. Should be my system?

  • Pavilion 6540y: the upgrading of power supply and graphics card

    I need to update my graphics card. What is the best inexpensive card graphics and power supply to buy for my HP Pavilion 6540 Y. I use it mainly for work and graphic design. Currently, the stock video card doesn't have enough memory to effectively run Photoshop and painter with three monitors. Photoshop's request at least 512 M of memory for what I do, but I'd like to at least 1 GB. Sometimes I will have Photoshop and painter running at the same time.

    Hello

    I love the Corsair CX500 or the 520w Seasonic because they adapt to the physical dimensions for your PC.

    Your first consideration should be Support HP or HP sales during the consideration of upgrades or replacement of memory. If you want to consider other manufacturers of the best way to avoid memory problems is to contact one of the leading manufacturers of memory. I would recommend that you try the tools of these manufacturers: Corsair, Kingston andCrucial. Once you have determined the DIMMs that you need, then contact commercial or technical support to check that you have selected the correct DIMMS. If you buy directly from manufacturers, then they will stand behind their products.

  • The upgrading of power supply and graphics card

    I want to further increase the speed and performance from the power supply first, then

    appreciate any suggestion

    Thank you

    Hello

    Forget the increase in ram.  The improvement of the performance would be negligible.

    Look at the power supply Corsair CX600 .  This power supply has enough amperage to run the NVIDIA GTX 570 and most NVIDIA cards less than the GTX 570.

    Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

    Thank you!

    The graphics card will be fine, but the power supply may cause problems of space because of the type of power supply (non-modular).

    The OEM case, you should look at modular PSUS. With modular units, you don't have to figure out what to do with all the extras, the unused connectors and wiring. Modular units you come a connectn those needed.

    This OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Newegg should be perfect. I used power supply, OCZ for years and never had a problem. It is actually less expensive than the Corsair you asked.

    Hello

    Your choice for a power supply will fit, but he does not meet the requirements system AMD which is 400 watts.

    The ASUS AMD 6670 that you referenced to adjust, but it is always better to open your PC control and measurement.

    This Corsair CX430 meeting the recommended minimum AMD power supply wattage size and it's actually a bit cheaper because of the available discount and delivery costs.  All the amperage 12 Volt is on a rail, so you won't have to worry about 12 volt rail for balancing.

  • Need the dimensions of XPS8300 power supply for the upgrade.

    So I bought a Dell XPS 8300 on sale Black Friday mainly because of the processor, RAM and HARD drive.  I need a new computer and wanted it to be fast but also wanted a desktop computer, because I intend to upgrade to a better quality of game.  I plan on upgrading the graphics card to a Geforce GTX 560 Ti FPB.  I understand that this will require a more powerful power supply and seeks to those at the moment, probably a 760W supply.  My concerns are mainly regarding the power supply box installation.

    Currently my XPS 8300 has a 7P3WV 460W power supply.  Part # H460AD-00Someone has dimensions on this so I can get a power supply that will compete?

    Or if no dimensions does anyone know of a compatible PSU?

    Finally, I intend to switch on the case and motherboard and all simply transfer on the parties but that is further down the road.

    Thanks in advance!

    nefastusaequitas

    Generic standard ATX power supply can be installed, with a power of 20 + 4 pin main motherboard, or 24 pins as the XPS 8300 has a rear panel open, with or without the on/off switch.

    You should be able to buy a compatible power supply either a local computer or online store.

    Note: A power supply with four SATA power connectors, is necessary.

    I need to get a new power supply and the logic board put in my iMac - when I did, this is my iMac will be indented from the base/settings (i.e. will I need to put everything on my external hard drive to backup) or will all my personal data / records/work etc., always be on it?

  • MSE8000 power supply and current calculation

    Hello

    Understand that there is a calculator tool to determine the power needed for your MSE 8000 chassis and blades.  The results of the calculator are running continuous and current.

    How to determine the power and the current requirement in KT? Struggling to understand and enter the values for the effectiveness of rectifier.

    Thank you

    Best regards

    TF

    Without the guarantee that this info is safe:

    I assume you are using:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/Telepresence/infrastructure/articles/mse_8000_calculate_power_current_requirements_kb_386.shtml

    I think that Valere Power supplies have a return about 90% as the value of the example.

    Suppose that several computer power supplies inefficiant down to 70%, this is what the power

    supply consumes for himself (in other words to warm the room :-)

    BTW, the amount of rectifier modules is what you need to start it, but to be redundant

    you have the double amount, in the example below, it shows 2, but it should be 2 x 2, two for each grid.

    So with 1 x 8050 and 4 x 8510 and 90% you will get something like:

    The calculator results

    The results are the following (values are rounded):

    Requirements Value

    Continuous current (AMPS)

    Number of rectifiers of Valère
