Whats up dudes! I just got back from a trip from the beach and I finally got a deal on an amazing graphics card that Ive wanted for a very long time.

The Geforce GTX series are expensive but apparently some of the best. Im stoked that I finally have my hands on an awesome model. It was only 250 bucks which is great for such a great card. I almost bought the GTX 280 but it was too much money...

Theres a few problems, however. Im not using it right now. The card is so damn big that it stretches from one side of my computer box to the other, but I rearranged some cords and it fits perfectly. I met all the system requirements, including 2gb of ram, a pci express slot and all that other stuff, but apparently that was not enough. I forgot to look at the one thing that I still cant believe I overlooked......the wattage of my power supply. The GTX 275 is so damn big that it requires its own power through two 6 pin cables or one six pin that splits into two-four pin cables.

I have a 300w standard ATX power box. The GTX requires a 575 watt pci express compliant AT LEAST.

Jesus Christ! My power box doesnt even have the required slots to plug in everything! I cracked open the box, threw in the GTX 275 and my Gateways just like "HELLL NO" and spat it back out at me. Now Im back to my crappy. 9200 GS.

So, I have to find a compatible power supply for my computer now, and I have to make sure it has the right slots. I did some research, and I found the Ultra LSP750 750-Watt Power Supply that seems to fit my computer. Im not sure though.

Its at Tiger Direct for a great price. RIGHT HERE. If someone is really smart with computers and reads my blog....uh can you please tell me if this can handle a GTX 275? It seems to have everything, and its ATX for my computer...I just dont know much about power supplies and its kind of intimidating. Thanks dudes.

Anyway, I have some research to do and some money to spend before I can start playing top of the line games like Crysis. Thanks for any help. And thanks for reading my blog :D
