http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148027


spec:+3.3V@17A, +5V@25A, +12V1@16A, +12V2@18A, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Its currently running an 8600gts perfect.

could i upgrade the gpu to something better with no risk of blowing up my brand new build?

should i just wait till i buy a new PSU? What do you folks think?

i was thinking a 9600gso to up the performance a touch?

im not sure, dont try unless confermed but im confident in the fact that you can run a max of MABEY 9300 i personaly would go with 8900 but again not sure might want to play it safe and wait... srry if i couldent be of help

Is this a joke? The 9300m is a motherboard gpu and the 8900...wtf is that it doesnt exist?

lol forget him. your current PSU will handle the new video card fine if the PSU lives up to its ratings. thats the problem though, Apevia is total crap to be honest. you dont need to buy a new PSU exactly, but your pushing your luck.
