whoops, missed that parts, i guess the best one there would probably be an 8400gs then, but that is a huge step down from that 9600gt, i would advise saving your money till you can afford the 9600gt
 
It will work just fine, the 300 watt rating that they give is very conservative, it is how many amps on the 12v rail that you psu is supplying what matters, as long as yo uhave atleast 20 amps running through the psu, you will be fine, this card doesn't use more than 50 watts, under load...

Here, here is one with a fan, it really won;t make much of a difference, the temps will stay in the 60c range, maybe go up to 70c but graphics cads are made to run hot...

Is there a reason why you would perfer a fan, over silent?

Oh, I just didn't want any problems with an overheating computer and it might even damage other components if it was left 'burning'. Oh, and it said something about 75W for the card, and you said it uses 50 so I think that works.
Thanks for the response.
 
O Np, i am about to get the 4670 and it uses 59 watts on load, and that is a card comparible to the 9600GT, which uses over 75+, This 4 series cards are pretty damn good when it comes to power usage. :)
