Upgrading Graphics & PSU

[iceangel89]

i want to upgrade my HP a6098d with a new GPU say GeForce 9600GT or ATI 46xx or 48xx series. so i need to upgrade my PSU (Bestec ATX250 12Z H3R - something similar (cant find an exact match) < if i am not wrong will go home and check it again)

the person at the computer shop asked me to bring my whole case down so he can check if my case can fit a new PSU and the GPU. but its troublesome, so i wonder if any1 knows if a new PSU and GPU will fit?

for GPU i guess as long as i dun get a super hig end 1 with a big HSF will be ok?

well you can start by opening up your case and taking measurements.

measure the length of your current psu and measure the extra space after it until it hits something.

also measure for the max length of a video card that you can fit in your case, measure the distance from the back of the case all the way to where there drive bays end.

then give the computer shop person the measurements and compare them to the new psu and new video card that you want to get.
