power suply for PCIe
hi guys!
im getting a new computer. but Im still confused which power supply I should get. Im gonna use a PCIe grapchic card, should it say PCIe on the box of the power supply? if the power supply says nothing about this PCIe, would it work on my graphic card? (Im getting a radeon X1950 pro PCIe, is 500W power supply enough?) thanks! |

With the x1950PRO you should look for a pretty beefy PSU. 500W sounds good, but you need to know how many amps there are on the +12V Rail(s). 25A+ should be sufficient.
Mostly all newer mid ranged/high end PSU's will have one or more PCI-E power connectors. If not, the GPU usually comes with an adapter.
