6200 mean:
128MB mean:
64 mean:
DDR mean:
AGP 4x/8x mean:

Also I want to know how to look for a good and match Power Support. The motherboard is this "AOpen nCK804a-LFS Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX" "PNY VCG62128APB Geforce 6200 128MB 64-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card "AMD Athlon 64 Socket 939 Processor"" and DVD burner and other hardware...

Have you already bought everything?

If not, give me a price and we can configure something much better.


6200 mean:Model
128MB mean: how much video memory
64 mean: ram bandwidth
DDR mean: ram type
AGP 4x/8x mean: port, in this case a 1.5v AGP port


That videocard is NOT compatible with that motherboard you listed.

For that motherboard you need a PCI-E graphics card, it's completly different to AGP.
If your looking ~£100, then you have the X800GTO from ATi - if your prepared to unlock the extra pipes it's a bargin.
Otherwise there's the 6600GT from Nvidia which you can pick up for ~£85.

6600GT is an awesome card, ive got an AGP 256MB model and with Omega drivers its really really good. Problem ive got a crappy PSU in at the moment so its running underclocked, but even then its still awesome.

You live in America?

How much do you want to spend on a videocard?

Telling you the wattage of a powersupply wouldn't do you any good, you still need to buy a power supply based on the 3.3v,5v, and 12v rails.

How much do you want to spend total on a powersupply and a video card?

you can never have too much, your computer will only take what it needs, and you are also safe in the knowledge u have extra power to utilize should you want to add more fans, overclock or upgrade later on.

Having too little power is a problem

Not nessecarily. Wattage is is important, but without the proper power to the right rails then it's useless.

For example, that 360 watt power supply I linked is considerably better and more powerful then the one that comes with that case.

Make sure you another 512 of memory soon to take advantage of dual channel.

He's right - your voltages will be all over the place on those cheap power supplies.
Another thing to remember is PEAK and SUSTAINABLE outputs. Cheap powersupplies ALWAYS list their peak output, which your never likely to reach.
The branded supplies give their sustainable output, which you'll get every second of every day.
