I'm not sure if I would trust that 500W PSU that came with the case to pair with a GTX260/4870 class card
It probably could do it, as long as it has 2x 6pin connectors which is the requirement for highend video cards, but its cutting it pretty close.

OP: what resolution are you planning to play on anyways?
Unless you're on 1920x1200res, a 4850 would probably do the job. 4850s are great fr the price.

The GTX 260 is 170w IIRC.

The CPU uses under 130w (Actually it'd use closer to 50-60w.)

CPU+GPU = 300w.

And yes it does have enough amps on the 12v rail.

 



Tease.
