Processor + Video card question

Hi all and thanks for reading
Im thinking of upgrading my video card(PCI-E) Im currently planning on buying a low budget card like the 8600GT.My processor,however is a Dual Core 2 GHZ Intel E1400.Yes I know its crappy but Im planning on overclocking it soon.Can the 8600GT run fine tih this processor or not?

Thanks in advance :)

It has nothing to do with CPU, just make sure the motherboard accepts it.

And make sure that your PSU can supply the power. A 8600 is not really that great. Buy a used 8800GT (or better) if you can.

Well I checked my PSU and it said 380W,as far as I know the 8600GT runs at 300W so I should be able to run it...I think...

The 8600 requires a good 300W PSU or a not so good 400W PSU - that includes a typical RAM, CPU and disk setup. The card itself probably does not pass 150W.
