Default New Power supply
My friend just got this hp: http://reviews.cnet.com/HP_Pavilion_...-32103840.html

He wants to be able to play games so i told him to get a graphics card i figured a 7600gs would be fine. The problem is the 350W power supply i dont think it will run it and just would like your thoughts and opinions.

I would just get a new psu. I bought a cheap 500W psu just to make sure it would run my 6600gt! lol, it was in a HP pavillion case aswell, they fit just fine.
