so you have a Acer desktop. Nope you need a upgrade. Depending on which card you choose you'll need at least 500w psu with decent 12v amps and a PCI-e connector.

Cant order stuff online matrixian...wish I could...I think I'm going to go with the 700W one at futureshop...I'm still deciding what graphics card to get...I watched some youtube videos on 8800 gt with crysis, and they were running it at 30-40 fps.

You should go to a pc hardware store in your city and buy a good brand power supply like Corsair, Enermax, PC Power & Cooling or Seasonic. The one at futureshop is overpriced and not a reliable brand.

700w is way overkill. You wont need more than 550w for even a 4850
