Hi there. I have a HP Pavillion a1620.uk with a psu of 300watts. I have just purchased an Nvidia GeForce 7600GT to replace my current 7300LE. The only reason is that im a player of The Sims 2 and have 6 expansions plus the original base game. I have been having crashing issues since day one due to my video card being so bad. Hopefully my new card will solve my problem but i need to upgrade my psu to at least 450watts. I really need some help with this...i know how to install a new graphics card and have done it before but i have no idea about psu's and all the numbers that surround them! My system specs are as follows :
