Rather humorous. Looking at video cards I realized I needed to be consious of how much power it draws so I don't overload my PSU. When building this system a couple of months ago I remember putting it together with a fairly minimal power supply to save money so now I was thinking I needed to replace the power supply if I get too beefy a graphics card... so I went back to my order and checked... I bought an Ultra LSP750 750w Power Supply... Not exactly wimpy so I guess I don't have to worry about it as all the graphics cards in my budget range draw much less than 300w.
