Hey I was wondering if sum1 could let me know if the 350W power supply I have in my pc will be okay for the 9800 Pro. Im new to modding my pc and making sure everything is compatible. I've read that its better to get a new heatsink for the card to keep it running cool - the arctic cooler seems the popular choice for this card. Is it worth it? I dont intend to overclock. What will the new heatsink do to the power consumption?
