The antec will work fine with the video card you described. It should work as long as you have suffcient power and you would with 550watts. I have the 8800GTS and that's a huge card so I think a 3850 would work. Anyone else try this yet?parabola66

I am ding the same thing, upgrading from my current upgraded from the integraded to a 8800 GT 512 MB. I just learded that I need a more power to run it, and now I need to to run the 8800 GT .
My question is this. Where do I find PSU for my Inspirion 531? I think i will stay with a of 550 watts. I just learned to that if I , I will need a minimum of . I think watts should be my minimum. Sound good?
