Help on Power supply
I apologize in advance since I am not very technical and first post.
I have a Dell Inspiron 531
Processor: AMD ATHLON 64 X2 Dual Core 5600+ 2.81 GHz
RAM 3 GB
Running 32 bit Windows 7.
I had the standard NVIDIA card that came with the computer. I have a 19 inch Dell monitor (VGA connection).
I obtained an Apple Cinema Display 30'' for work (DVI connection). Since I needed to run both screens with nice image quality I have to upgrade my video card.
I was thinking of RADEON HD 5750. My current power supply is 300W so I know that I have to upgrade this. I need help in determing what is a good power supply unit. My buget is under $100. I have a PCI E slot on my motherboard so that is not the issue.
I was thinking of
Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V Ver.2.2 / EPS12V version 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
But some people say Antec is suspect and on the AMD website it does not list this as compatible with the 5750 (though I think it should work).
Any comments would be very helpful. If you think I should get another card rather than 5750 also advise.
Thanks in advance.
