Replacing HDD is fairly easy from a hardware point of view, and then you just install your OS fresh, install various motherboard drivers, then the rest of the drivers. Do NOT have the old HDD still plugged in during the install. Once it's installed, you can reconnect the old one to try and move stuff over. Alright thanks!  Hope I can find a good ish deal on it ,lol | ||

Now i cannot afford a new computer, so i have decided to get a new graphics card, however i dont know which one to get. The card that fried was the: nvidia Geforce GT230 Specs to my computer can be found: Here Btw i dont think the pc has a power cable for graphics card, so i need one without. Thanks in advance | ||

The general idea, with something like that, is to make it as universal as possible. Worst case scenario, if it IS like that, which is obscenely unlikely, you can buy extension cables for stupid cheap. You would think so, but I have seen several that do use them http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999198 PWM still isnt very mainstream I dont think, so it could happen more than you would otherwise think. | ||

Which is why I mentioned that extension cables would fix the problem for reasonably cheap, since he's limited on options for the panel itself. Amps per channel is rather important. | ||

Thanks in advance Just pick one that you can afford (and that do not require additional power supply). As far as I remember power supplies used in HP products have good quality (as in they provide the stated power). 300W should be more than enough to power your system having a decent low/mid class graphic adapter. As a little help: Leadtek GT430 / Sapphire HD5670 | ||

As a little help: Leadtek GT430 / Sapphire HD5670 Meh, I feel like you can't just assume its good. It would be much easier to check the model and give us a screenshot of the rail amperage supply just so we can be sure. It depends on your budget though. I'm pretty sure you could go up to a 6770 (or 7750 actually, since it uses less power), and be fine. Edit: A 7750 uses just over 200 watts on max possible load with anandtech: 7750 Benchmark I'm pretty sure that's with an overclocked config too, so it will be significantly more powerful than yours, so you'd be fine. Edit again: It uses a i7-3960X at 4.3ghz, so your system will be well under 200W at load with a 7750 for example. | ||

And I seriously can't find this on google, I find that it helps sometimes and never a number or an estimate. | ||

Some applications, like Xsplit, are incompatible with it so thats obviously a problem but as far as performance goes it shouldn't impact anything. Especially if you run full screen. If you run in some sort of windowed mode Im sure it will have an impact, but still close to nothing. | ||

And I seriously can't find this on google, I find that it helps sometimes and never a number or an estimate. It's actually going to depend strongly on what operating system you are using and how many programs you have open. The main process that is going to be taking up resources is DWM.exe, Because it saves and continually updates previews of the windows you have open (the little pictures that appear when you hover over the task bar) RAM usage will increase as you have more items open. In Windows 7, if you have around 20 programs running with the animated desktop and transparent windows DWM.exe can start to use over 100MB of RAM (I've actually tested this) though CPU usage is going to be low. In Vista the system memory usage is going to be even higher. On my old laptop with a Geforce go 7400 and 2 gig of RAM I could actually eek out an extra 10 frames or so on lowest setting for SC2; effects were especially apparent in playing team games. But bottom line is unless you are seriously pushing the limits of your hardware regularly; you won't notice any difference at all. | ||

Made a small but noticeable for me in SC2 fps. Of course, I was running windowed fullscreen on an HD2000. Or who knows, maybe it was something else. *shrug* | ||
