I just bought a nividia gtx 260 video card. I tried to install int but not sure if my computer will handle it. I have a gateway dx4200-09 amd quad core. I looked for another power supply but could only find one. Am I out of luck with this card. I'm really going to be sas if I just spent 200 dollars for nothing. Any help would be great. Thanksanthony

It seems that your Gateway comes with a 300W PSU, which isn't enough. NVIDIA specs say that the GTX260 card will use up to 182W.What happened when you tried to install it?

I looked for another power supply but could only find one.

Where did you look for another PSU? There are plenty of PSUs on the market. You should look for a PSU capable of delivering up to 650-750W.

I'd guess you were looking for a "Gateway power supply" and that is why you were unable to find one. Standard PSUs will work in just about any recent OEM system, unless there is a size constraint.

thanks for the help I upgraded my power supply and it works great.
