    Hi all,

    I'm currently running Windows 7 using integrated graphics and would like to upgrade to a DX11 card.

    I have a Corsair VX 450W PSU. Would this be enough to power a Radeon 5750 ?

    The CPU is a Phenom II X4 940BE and I have one hard disk and one optical drive.

    Would this PSU be enough ?

    Thanks

    Stock I would say it might do.

    But really, 300 quid graphics with a 40 quid psu aint the best combo in the world.

    I ran an Asus HD4890 on a Corsair VX 450W PSU without any problems, with an E8400 @ 4.2GHz, 3 HDDs, 2 TV cards, X-Fi XTremeMusic, so you'll have no problems running a 5750....

    Thanks for the replies.

    Which card should I get - the Powercolor or the Sapphire ?

    The Powercolor has a modified HSF, would this be quieter than the reference Sapphire ?

    Thanks again.

    Link to both? I would say Sapphire without knowing anything, just because I've bought from them before and had no problems.
