is this video card......http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814130328 good for this powersupply..?.......http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817148027
ARE THE VOLTAGES OK AND EVERTHING ELS?|||Please DO NOT get that power supply to power that video card. I have seen and personally experienced low quality apevia/aspire power supply units, mine was a 500w youngyear based unit, and it ran for about 18 months and flat out died for no reason. A bit of research showed it could barely handle 250w and was rated at max / peak power which is misleading.
The problem w/ cheap units like that one is you go over 250w load and the voltages are simply not stable at all, and it is just bad for your equipment.
If you value your pc at all get one that is at least stable, my budget choice is this one:
Rosewill RP500-2 ATX12V v2.01 500W

$50 w/ free shipping
it's only $10 more and trust me the rebate is not worth the risk of your equipment. Check out the review it is apparently a solid performer

Peace of mind - only a few bux more :) I wish I had done the research before I trusted my unit, I am convinced it damaged 3 out of the 10 hdd's in my fileserver that also died shortly after the power supply did.|||Pretty much any video card will interface with any power supply, the only issue is if there is enough wattage to power it. You have to take into consideration how many things you will plug into it. I would assume you have a cd-rom drive, hard drive and a fan or 2. If that's correct then you are fine. Even if you have a device or 2 more you will be ok (perhaps a PCI sound card or floppy drive).
The only problem you would face is if you run the card in SLI. The card you have is SLI ready which means you can put 2 cards in the PC and use them both at once. If you do this I would recommend buying a bigger power supply. 600 watts is going to be enough. I believe the card you have is 500 watts which is fine if you only have GeForce 9600GT.
Hope that helps.|||that powersupply is pretty crappy, but it will run the card|||Yes, that power supply is more than enough to power your video card, cpu, and so much more. Youll be just fine with that.
Nice video card too!
