Upgrading my graphics card

[matt1314]

Hi there.

 

I wanted to know, if a HD4850 or a HD4870 would work with my system and my system would support the new card and if I even can build in the new one. My system specs:

 

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2,33 GHz (HP Pavilion a6749de)

6144 MB RAM

1 TB HDD

NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 (1 GB VRAM)

 

Is it possible? If yes, I'm gonna buy the new card as soon as I can to play finally with the highest settings on my games.

 

Thanks.

Hmm, the CPU is kinda slow, not sure if the CPU would be a bottleneck. Get a 650W PSU and a E8400 aswell as your 4870. Then you are good to go!

If not, get a 550W PSU and the card. See how it goes.

Yes it will work if your power supply is big enough.
