So whats the exact name of the ATI that i want?

THe site dosen't seem to sell any enermax, if i got an ANTEC would that do? i mean they seem by far the cheapest

hey bignoob and welcome to pchf

i don't know much about graphic cards but if i remember correctly garhar once told me that ati cards have better image quality then nvidia

genie3251

but could i just get ANTEC its by far the cheapest (this is if it works OK? )

hmm ok. do they (ATI card and the NVDIA one) both cost the same ammount? also does this comp come with a PSU or is it just a no-name one? and can i tell if it comes with an ethernet? can i take the ethernet out of my broken computer?


edit another question this other comp looks the same but costs $30 but has a 'BIG FAN' does this mean i dont have to get another one/can put another one in? ill post it in here now

original comp

as a note i will be running this computer 24/7 if i need to put even a 3rd fan or stronger power supply?

Hi BigNoob,

yes both those computers have 450watt power supply's which will be enough, and personally i'd go for the 2nd one, as it has the bigger fan...

so if i buy the second one would i need to put another fan in (remember im going at it 24/7), also as the 450watt power thats enough but i should be using respectable brands, is ANTEC ok?
