Is keeping it plugged in not a option? Cause even with a better battery, you'll get maybe another hour or so depending on the workload.

Psus have nothing to do with cpu temps unless its on fire. whats your ambient temps and load temps? Cause idle temps dont really mean anything.

Edit: o wait I forgot, It could be your psu blowing hot air on your cpu, but that doesnt have anything to do with wattages.

Why get two cards right off the bat? Use that money and get a stronger single gpu, so you have the option of adding another down the line.

Lol its you again, if its blocked...yes blocked..then alls good.

[QUOTE="the_jeuice"]Okay, where can I find what power supply I have?the_jeuice

Open your case and look at the big fat thing with a sticker.

If its less than 500watt, get a 6870 or GTX460.

250w is not enough for a 6870, your gonna need a new psu for it.

I would pretty much take any offer, if anyone has a interest in such a machine.

You miss a big point between the high end cards of last gen. The 5870 had lower power draw and heat output then the 480 which was a big plus, and the 5870 is still beast.

Audio technica AD700 or Sennheiser HD555 +clip on mike is the way to go, dont get "gaming headsets".

Why not just buy a laptop cooler and save money for a better desktop later.
