I have Compaq Presario SR2177CL Desktop PC, It was great until I was looking at newer games; Mirrors edge, Crysis...etc. I need a new vid card and my choices are slim to none with a 300W PSU.

So the question is how much power(wattage) can I put into the system without blowing the motherboard?
 
Ok so I could put a 850W PSU in it if it would fit?

Sorry I'm not exactly comp savy enough to build my own comp or anything, and this is the first time I'm upgrading.
 
You'll be fine with whatever you put in there. Voltages are regulated, wattage is drawn as needed. You could crap a 1000 watt PSU in there if you wanted. Not knowing your specs or what you wish to upgrade to, it may be a bit of a waste :P I'm running a 650 watt now and I KNOW I'm hardly using its full potential :P
 
Well thank you much...I gues I'll post in a different section an try to get help upgrading, after I add my current specs to my signature an whatnot.
 
you should upgrade video card, if your gonna upgrade your power supply. Since you have one available Pci-Express Slot.
