So i have a Pentium d 3.4 ghz processor.
2 gigs of ddr2 ram
a 500w power supply
an intel motherboard which specs i can get if need be. ( i believe it is a micro motherboard)


the situation is this. i ordered a superclocked nvidia 8800GT

thats the link to it.

i wanted to know if my power supply will be able to handle the parts that i have or if i will need a new one. if i will need a new one, can i be advised into a specific direction? keep in mind that i will also be hoping that someone can include a power supply that will be able to handle me trying to overclock my processor, again with the help of you guys i hope.

thank you again in advance, I'm sorry for my average computer knowledge. I can get specific part descriptions later if need be.

If it's an actual Intel board, it *may* not be overclockable. It's an aftermarket board based on an Intel chipset, you *may* be in luck.

"a 500w power supply"

We need to know the make/model & amperage ratings on the +3.3v, +5v & +12v rails.

"i have a Pentium d 3.4 ghz processor"

945 or 950?
