A prebuilt computer for a friend . . .

Regicide · 03-19-2008, 04:45 PM

A friend of mine wants to buy a computer, he isn't really into building so I found him (what I think) is a decent prebuilt computer on Newegg, a moniter and a Geforce 9600GT . . .

EVGA GeForce 9600GT

Acer Veriton VM460-UD4501P Core 2 Duo E4500(2.20GHz) 2GB DDR2 160GB Intel GMA 3100 Windows XP Professional

AG Neovo F-417 Black 17" 3ms(GTG) LCD Monitor - Retail

I know we are going to need to upgrade the PSU, which brings me to why I am creating this thread. Can somebody recommend a good PSU that will be able to power that video card? Also, the video card will run fine in that tower right?

He only really wants to play WoW and Magic Online so if you know of a cheaper prebuilt on NewEgg, could you please link me to it?

Thank you.

I recommend newegg all the way. Check out Antec for a really good power supply.
