Default Compatible?

Can someone tell me if the following are compatible with each other?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1GB-XFX-Radeon...eo_TV_Cards_TW [cgi.ebay.co.uk]

or this (is either of them better than the other?)

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/p...s/57701GB.html [novatech.co.uk]

with this...

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/p...OV-PSU750.html [novatech.co.uk]

This is the motherboard.

http://www.foxconnchannel.com/produc...D=en-us0000345 [foxconnchannel.com]



I know I made a thread before but I need clarification now because I plan on making the purchase soon. Also, how long do you reckon the card will last, as I don't wish to have to upgrade again in 4 weeks? xD

How can I find out if this power supply fits in my case? :laugh:

Default Re: Compatible?

Both are compatible with your mainboard yes, I think the only difference is the manufacturer, the ebay one is XFX and the other is Novatech, I have the XFX one myself, you will be getting it a fiver cheaper than me too.

I think the card will play any game on the market right now on at the very least, medium settings, most games I have played on it I have played on high.

Which power supply? I only see three links here

I think you linked it to me. I'm pretty sure it's good enough and will last me a long time, but with technology these days I just don't know. I don't want to end up having to buy more stuff in a few weeks time like I said.

I need to find out the dimensions though as I need it to fit my case. xD

That will work fine too, I linked you to one of these which are a few pounds extra but probably just the same more or less:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CIT-GOLD-EDITI...werSupplies_EH [cgi.ebay.co.uk]

As long as it isnt a micro ATX case it should fit fine, how tall is the case?

Default Re: Compatible?

The case is 18cm in width and 35cm tall. The problem is I've got to get a power supply to fit so A) It fits nicely beside the motherboard (as with most PSU's) and B) I can actually screw it in so I can keep the case up-right.


My current PSU is approx 15cm wide, 9cm tall. I can't get accurate measurements until I take the case off.

That should fit fine, my case I think is smaller than that and my PSU looks about the sizes you said too. As long as your case isnt similar in size to these for example you should be good to go:

http://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=en...w=1099&bih=847 [google.co.uk]

Normally the smaller cases only have two drive bays on the front too, so if you have four then that'll be fine

This [google.co.uk] is my case.


Interesting fact: The USB ports on the front of my PC are upside down.

Default Re: Compatible?

I'm thinking of buying a different card. I'm not too sure yet. £200+ is an awful lot to pay, and I'm not sure how long it would last.

The GTX 460/470/480 are what I'm looking at, in order going from the least powerful/less expensive, to the most powerful/most expensive. As far as I can tell they're all compatible with the motherboard.

Effectively buying the most expensive card will mean it will last the longest (I hope), but I don't want to pay £400 when my only income is £30 a week and the card only lasts a year or something.

Suggestions?
