Is this computer compatible with this power supply?

I was just wondering how I can tell what power supply is compatible with my motherboard? I am considering on going to bestbuy and buying a better power supply for the use of a graphics card
my new computer is a Gateway - Desktop / Intel® Core™ i3 Processor / 8GB Memory / 1TB Hard Drive
Model: DX4840-03E | SKU: 9973838
and I have an XFX PVT98GYAF3 GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
so i don't know what to get on terms of a power supply, and what is compatible with my computer. I live close enough to the Bestbuy in Moline, Illinois. So I want to get one instore not order one online

I am willing to bet that the current PSU in your computer would support the GPU you are wanting to install on the computer. That GPU is not as power-hungry as a top-end card, so won't utilize too much power.
I honestly would recommend installing the GPU first prior to spending money on a PSU you may not need. If the computer seems to not be working, you should be able to install the corsair 650w PSU into your computer without many complications -- however I would talk to a local Geek Squad Counter-intelligence agent prior to purchasing the product.

    JCGood1984, welcome to the forum.
    The computer should take a standard ATX power supply unit (PSU).  I suggest measuring the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one in the links.  If the measurements are the same, it should fit.  I don't know anything about the brand, however.

  • Is this Power supply suffiecent for my system?

    Hi, Is this PSU powerful enough to run my computer? SILENT PUREPOWER SERIES TT-420AD, 420WATT POWER SUPPLY, +3.3V@30A;+5V@40A;[email protected];+12V@18A;[email protected];+5VSB@2A.

I want to know whether this power supply will have enough power to run my setup as I brought an ICUTE 400watt power supply that couldn't manage(no doubt cause its a cheap peice of sh*t) but since Thermaltake is a decent brand I'm thinking it should manage but I just want to be sure.

    That PSU will support your configuration and then some.  I have several TT Silent PurePower 420W in service - no complaints.  Dual-fan PSU of good construction.  Whenever Newegg puts that PSU on sale for $36.99 with free shipping (regular $42.00 plus shipping), I jump on it.
    +3.3V and +5V are not a problem, you would be hard pressed to build a system that can place a combined load greater than 170W on +3.3V and +5V, even if you tried.  Your system power needs on +12V rail will be (MAX LOAD):
    MSI KT6 Delta FISR = .5A
    Athlon 2700XP = 7.2A (AMD Datasheet)
    2x V-DATA 512MB PC3200 - N/A
    ATI Radeon 9700PRO = 1A (see: O/C Radeon 9800 Pro)
    Seagate SATA 80GB = 2.8A
    Hitachi DVD ROM = 1.5A
    CPU FAN = .25A
    2x CASE FAN = .5A
    Max Total = 14A (rounded to the next ampere)
    Edit:  I should point out that 14A is the load expected if all these components are simultaneously placing their MAX load on the +12V, a condition that is virtually impossible to reproduce outside of a test lab.  For instance, HDD and CD/DVD drives generate max load during disk spin-up, thereafter demanding much less current for read/write/seek operations (approx. 1A).  Same with cooling fans.
    A real world 'continuous' consumption figure would be in the neighborhood of 10A.

  • Will this power supply work for this tower?

    I plan on getting this computer
    LINK
    I feel like everything on the computer is adequate but the power supply is only 300W. I need more than this so I plan on using this power supply to upgrade it.
    POWERSUPPLY
    Can anyone tell me if this powersupply will fit and perform with the desktop I listed. Also if it does not, is there any suggestions as to what similar Watt power supply will work?
    Thanks

    Unless, for some reason, Asus didn't use the ATX form factor for that case, that power supply should work fine. 
    Unless you are upgrading other parts, hockey's concerns aren't warranted. A power supply that is "too big" is never a problem, it's actually better for the power supply because it runs at a lower load. And, the rails on that ThermalTake can manage higher amps than the stock one can, guaranteed. 
    It's tough to max out a 850watt PSU in a mid-size tower like that.

  • Computer compatible with sounblaster audigy 2 ZS Plat

    I currently have the 6bit version of soundblaster li've on a dell dimension 2400 PC and was curious if i would be able to install soundblaster audigy 2 ZS Plat Pro instead. Is my computer compatible with this because im having difficulty finding anything out from Dell

    ACUBaller83,
    If your system fits to these specifications then it should work, just make sure to completely uninstall the Li've! before installing this (and put the Audigy 2 ZS into a different PCI slot).

  • Help for beginner: Need labview signal to power on =2 actuators of 8 with one power supply

    I am a beginner in using labview. I need to use labview signal to turn on >=2 ac 8 actuators with one power supply. The 24VDC, 0-3A power supply is enough to drive all 8 actuators which need 24VDC and 0.1A current. So the main function is like turning on 2 or more than 2 switches in series with the 8 actuators with one power supply. Any suggestion of some simple module for this purpose? Thanks.

    Maybe I didn't say the question clear. I have one power supply (24VDC, 0-3A) and 8 solenoid valves (24VDC and 0.1A). Two valves (or more than two in future) have to be activated each time. I would like to find something that can work like switches installed in series with the valves. Then I can wire the valves (with the switches) in parallel with the power supply. As I turn the switches on and off with signals from Labview board, power to that specific valve will be turned on and off.
    Any advice for this kind of switches or any module that can be controlled by Labview signal? Please help! Thanks.

  • IMac went totally black. No power to the unit. Have there been issues with the power supply?

    My iMac went totally went black tonight when my grandchildren were using the iMac. I can't power it up? Have there been issues with the power supply?

    It may just be the power cord (between the mains and the computer).   If you have an Apple store or Authorised store near you, take the cord in and check it out.  Indeed, check if it has been partly pulled out by pressing it firmly into the back of the computer.

    Depending on what company made the PS, most companies over exagerate what they will do, or give a peak power output instead of a constant rated amprage. If thier PS will maintain a constant 200watt under full load, then it will get the job done in a all-in-1 unit. Check this page for power consumption of all your parts. It`s kinda old and the values for the VC and processors could be a bit higher, but it will give you a good idea.

  • Is this power supply good?

    A friend of mine wants me to build him a very similar system to the one i have but he's going to get a x800pro card instead of my 9800pro. I'm thinking of ordering the Antec True Blue 480 PSU for him. Do you guys think this is a good power supply? Any comments are appreciated.

    So the older ones could actually be quieter?
    An aluminium case is not as good for absorbing vibrational noises as a steel case but because i have back problems i can't lift a heavier case.   It's hard to build a good looking, lightweight, powerful and quiet computer today because things just work against each other so much. But that's my idea of perfection.  

  • Will this Power Supply work?

    I'm getting my K8N soon, and I've spotted a new power supply that I want.  It's an Aspire 500W.  I won't BS with you guys - I like the LED's and the adjustable fan knob.  It has the specs (max, not peak, of course) below -
    3.3 - 28a
    5 -    30a
    12-   34a
    Will this be adequate?  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks.  I'm not really planning on putting tons of peripherals in here - 2 hard drives, a dvd drive, and a 6800 GT.  If you're running it fine, it ought to handle what i'm putting in there.
