thanks so much! youve been great help to me!

alright i get it but say i were to throw that psu in the system could it hurt anything? and what would you personally recommend with the upgrades i'm putting in? im looking only at the Corsair psu's since i hear they are reliable thanks!

so first off thank you guys for the helpful insights and posts! much appreciated! ive finally decided on another gpu to pair with the Phenom II X4 945... its the eVGA GeForce GTX 550Ti..it says it requires a 400 watt power supply which i have..but im not really computer handy and not sure what the usual practice is but is that cutting it too close? am i risking an overheat by just meeting the "requirements" so again opinions on how my system will stack up with these upgrades! thanks:) ---------- Post added at 21:37 ---------- Previous post was at 21:26 ---------- and.. what i'll end up doing is replacing my 400 watt psu with a new one question is i dont know what wattage to get? what would be overkill? also what brands should i avoid and what brand do you recommend? thanks BTW heres the psu im looking at right now just right? or overkill? Corsair 600W Builder Seriesâ„¢ CX600 V2 80 Plus PSU

alright so what would i be expecting settings and fps wise? 1280 X 1024 is what i'll be running it at

no thats great feedback thank you, wasn't aware i could get something more up to date just concerned about it needing a new psu anyway im looking at a GTS 450 for $120..please if theres a better deal that you can recommend or that makes more sense let me know thank you!

yes i'm a newbie here hey everyone, i've been wanting to play this game for the longest time, just never got to it because my pc isn't up to par and i dont feel like watching a slideshow when i play so i need everyone's help!! first i'll post my current system specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ @ 2.6 GHz (brisbane) (weak crap) Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit 4 GB of ram K9A2 CF Version 1 motherboard GeForce 8500 GT DDR3 (weak) SPI ATX-400PN 400W Power Supply so with research and some recommendations i decided on these upgrades, -New gpu MSI Geforce GTS 450 -new cpu AMD Phenom II X4 945 Quad Core Processor -not sure if i need to upgrade my power supply aswell any suggestions would be great everything else will stay in the comp, as with the motherboard i know its an older one but don't really feel like replacing it now, knowing it supports AM2+/AM3 processors and has two pci-e slots for dual cards so i think it'll do the job with the upgrades just fine again let me know if its a MUST that i replace it with a new one. thanks again guys i just want a great arma II experience!!
