ComputerKid Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Why are you worried about the PSU? the brand has issues and there a limit to what my mom going to spend to upgrade it also cool master isn't known to have reliable psu's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkster Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 the brand has issues and there a limit to what my mom going to spend to upgrade it also cool master isn't known to have reliable psu's The motherboard has onboard graphics, bite the bullet and settle with it. I doubt your sister will need that ATI card.. spend the rest on a higher quality PSU. Honestly, that's what I would do, onboard graphics wouldn't be that bad, no worries.
