Only reason i ask, is they say 8800 320mb gts = 19" and lower and the 640mb over 19" so if you want to spend say £200 i personally would go for this.

Oh, and my PC has started all of a sudden to spend a lot of time on the start up screen - where it shows all the information, eg, how many hard drives etc. It stays like that for about a minute. Any ideas?

You mean BIOS? </BLOCKQUOTE>

Sorted. There is a return to original settings option, good old Dell.

Thanks for the help. I have looked at this card on the net and I read that it needs a 400W PSU, I have no idea what wattage mine is, there arent any markings on mine that give a wattage, any ideas how I can find out?

Forget that I found it on the paperwork that I have - its a 420W so I should be fine - now all i have to do is work out if it will fit in my PC !!!

It's about 27cm long and takes up two slots in the back of your pc, also make sure you have a pci-e power cable coming from your psu that has to be plugged into the front of it.

I really need a new PSU and gfx card for my pc for as cheap as possible really currently have a Geforce 7300 SE. My psu is only 250W

[retired_Sheree]

How much are you looking to pay, keep clear of antec power supplies, seasonic are the only brand i'll use now this one is only 40 quid. Link.

[retired_alexpf]

Well probably got around £100 for gfx card.
