Hi I just want to know from people with experience if you think I will be ok with buying an ati radeon x1650 512mb pci/e with a 350 watt psu?

Will it run ok on the psu do you think? I really cant afford to spend £70 on a dell compatible psu thats 470 watts....Should i bother upgrading or will i be ok? Please help

Thank you, I'm so glad to hear that its been bugging me for quite some time, fingers crossed it will run source games on high settings with smooth frames....:)

One last thing, sorry if it's a bit off topic...Why are graphics cards like the ati radeon x1650 pro so cheap on ebay?! The ati x1650 pro is about £30 average on most sellers...Surely theres something going on....
