You can do it, but you will need to upgrade your power supply.

hi,
thanks for reply.
would you specify me how much wattage psu i should buy?
if i install card with existing psu (i.e. 350w) what will card result?
geforce 8600 series is mid range card and company stated that it does not need external power supply.
