My current system:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz
Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H
G.Skill 4GB DDR2-800 RAM (2x2GB)
BFG 9600GT OC 512MB Video Card
Antec 900 Tower Case
Corsair CMPSU-450VX 450W PSU
Western Digital 1TB Hard Drive
LG Blu-ray Burner
Dell 3007WFP
Question:
When I originally put this system together I never had gaming in mind. In fact, if the motherboard had supported the resolution of my monitor I wouldn't have the 9600GT. Recently I have decided to get back into WoW and possibly Warhammer Online as well. I was hoping to upgrade my video card to the following 4890:
Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD 4890 1GB Video Card - $219.99
Will it work without me needing to upgrade my PSU? I don't have anything overclocked, nor do I have plans to. I prefer quiet if at all possible, and it looks like the custom cooling solution on this video card provides both great cooling and quiet operation. Any other recommendations that would be better than this?
