Need A New Power Supply

I need a new power supply to run the Radeon HD 2400 Pro just to make sure that it is getting the power it needs. I am not sure what kind of power supply my computer supports. My case is an ATX Form Factor so I assume that my computer requires an ATX PSU. After that I am lost on what to get. I have no clue what to do? Help me out!!!!

Re: Need A New Power Supply

How much power will you be consuming total? Try to find out how much power is going to be consumed and go for a power supply with more wattage then the bare minimum.

Re: Need A New Power Supply

The bare minimum for the Radeon HD 2400 Pro AGP is 270 Watts. Currently I have 250 Watts. Will that be worth the upgrade? Or will I be ok and not notice a difference?

You need the upgrade. You will experience power issues.

Re: Need A New Power Supply

Can you recommend any budget graphics cards that wouldnt require a power supply upgrade besides the GeForce 6200 and Radeon 9550.
