I'm looking to buy a new GPU to complete my system. I was searching around and thinking of spending about £50-£70 on a card, then I figured I may as well splash out and save myself having to upgrade sooner. After looking around, the 9600GT caught my eye. I'll be running it in single configuration with an Antec Earthwatts 500W PSU. At the moment, my gaming needs are simple (WoW and CS) but I'd like to expand my horizons, as it were. Thinking of buying CoD4.
In particular, I was looking at Zotec's card. A couple of questions.
Am I likely to encounter power problems with 500W? I'll be running mobo, a case fan, CPU + fan, 1, possibly 2, ATA harddrives and a DVD drive.
Secondly, I assume the 9600 works with DX9.0c, it's just I've only seen it mentioned that it supports DX10?
Thanks in advance,
-Em
