I decided to go with this. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

It fits in my system and is $30 cheaper than the one you suggested just because of the -$40 mail rebate, which was better than the -$20. Thank you for steering me in the right direction though. I didn't get the power supply, but instead I got the 1 year warrenty. If something goes wrong, I will invest in the power supply.

My friend has the same card, and he said that he has a 500 watt power supply and has no problems.

Thanks again!

As 7950 can most certainly run on a 500w supply, however because we were both unsure of the quality of your existing one i recommended another. Usually no-name brand PSU's can take a little usage but they might fall down when it comes close to pulling its max rated wattage and its the component that would blow all the others in the system if it failed.

I think the difference between the two cards is only about 10-15 dollars.

Just wanted to give you an update. Got the graphics card, installed it no problems. Running almost all my games on ultra high (except crysis of course.).
