Do yourself a favor and get a larger name-brand unit. You'll be better off in the long run.

By ''name-brand unit'' , we are talking about a good reputable manufacturer. Some examples would be Antec, Thermaltake, Coolermaster, Enermax, Mushkin, etc. Most Nvidia cards require a 400 watt or larger power supply to function correctly. An ATI card normally needs at least a 350 watt power supply. IMO, the 230 that you have will not be able to run any kind of good graphics card.

Computer like Dell, Antec, Coolermaster, Alienware are wary rare in Croatia and they cost about 120,000kn which is 20,000$. So I can only dream about it!  -------------------- People live to learn, and learn to live...
