Hi Gday,

My personal welcome to PCHF. It would be helpful for you to post the make and model of your Sony, in order for our hardware gurus to help you find the best PSU.

Looking forward to your reply,

TTFN

Hi,

It's a Sony VAIO VGC-RA830G. It's pretty old. P4 3.8ghz.


Looking to upgrade both the PSU and the Graphic Card which is a Nvidia 6600.
