Hey guys I just bought an Asus 9600 gso 512mb

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=42599

for my Acer Aspire E 360 (added 2gig ram)

I was wondering if you guys think my CPU will bottleneck it much (AMD Athlon 64x2 3800+)

And if my 300w stock power supply will be good enough. I was going to buy a 400w PSU (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=42965&promoid=1081) but the NCIX guy said my stock 300w should be fine which was cool with me cause I didn't want to sink much money in to this older computer.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for the feedback in advance.
 
Your PSU is one of the most important parts of your PC,and should not be skimped on. Has that 300w even got a six pin connector? I would go for it so you can sleep better. 550w OCZ would be even better for future upgrades.
 
Thanks for the responses.

What do you guys think of the PSU I linked? Good bang for my buck?

Also will my processor bottleneck this video card much?

Yea that is a pretty good PSU cheap to OCZ has always been one of my favorites. If you could find a Corsair 400w for the same then go with that but the OCZ will be good.

You shouldn't have any bottleneck between the CPU and GPU.

Alright thanks good to know. Was concerned because this computer/processor is getting pretty old! I should be set then. Think this old rig is upgraded as much as she can be.
