Can someone tell me if a 9800GT will run on a 320 Watt PSU ?
I need to know because I am planning to get a new graphics card

Ragnor: Depends what are the rest of the spec's of the machine (cpu, ram, motherboard, screen res eg 1680x1050 or 1920x1080)?
Also what games are you wanting to play?
joker97: try ati - lower power cons. i'd say you'd sneak by with a 5770 (note: the advertised power cons is not the max)
Ragnor: 9800GT is an old card and won't run new modern games on high settings at 1920x1080 with smooth good fps that well.
You really need to be looking at the Nvidia GTX 460 1GB or AMD/ATI Radeon 5850 1GB, however these are in the $400-500 range. Also you will need to get a new PSU.
To be honest I would upgrade the CPU as this will hold you back alot too.
