upgrading my vid card to this

[junjo75]

so I currently have this as my mobo:

BIOSTAR TForce TP43D2A7 LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel

 

and I'd like to upgrade my vid card to this:

MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16

 

and im wondering if my mobo would even take advantage of it. or if it would even work. basically i want to upgrade my vid card to something really good...while still using my older computer hardware. here is what else i have in my comp right now:

 

Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33GHz

 

OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066

 

also, i only have a 585 W power supply. so i think i may need a minimum of 600 W for this new vid card?

Your power supply should be fine. 600W would be only be needed for a gtx580 or SLI.

You might want to upgrade the cpu and motherboard, they pose the biggest bottleneck potential to that graphics card. The following link might prove useful: What video card should I buy
