paulktreg Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Hello and welcome to OCC. You'll have to be a bit more specific about your hardware before any of the members can offer you any advice. Motherboard, memory and power supply models etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulktreg Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Can you be a little more specific about your power supply because there's only one Ace 620W I know about and it costs about £18.00. I hope it isn't that one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippy999 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 well thats the one at the min, it being changed when get graphics changed old card is knackered with dust, sounds like hoover, lol, was going to get a 5870 1GB from asus factory overclocked, what psu would you suggest? any advice welcome, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 480 -> 5870 would be a downgrade (as much as I love the 5870). Just blow out the 480 and keep using it, there isn't much worth upgrading from that. Where are ya ordering from (if online) I'll pick ya a nice PSU!

If money's tight then the Corsair CX500W or XFX PRO550W would do the job nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
