hey everyone,
I have an HP a250n
I have recently upgraded the RAM (I added 2GB of RAM; two 1 GB chips) on it and I have recently switched over to windows 7.
I want to upgrade my sound card and video card. I RARELY use this machine for gaming. I will for the most part be using this computer for listening to music through my Logitech Z-5500 speakers and for streaming movies and videos to watch on my HDTV. Other than that I will simply be surfing the web and using Microsoft office for school/business related activities.
I am looking to get the best quality sound and video for my money (obviously).
I am looking to run an optical audio connection to my Z-5500 and I need the video card to have an HDMI output (unless there is a connection that will give me better video quality).
any suggestions??
My price range is flexible
also, here are the specs on my current PSU.
AC Input: 115/230V~,6.5A/3.5A, 50-60Hz
DC Output: 300W
+3.3V - 15A
+5V - 25A
+12V - 10A
-5V - .6A
-12V - .6A
+5VSB - 2A
I know i am going to have to upgrade my PSU to support the new video card, so if you could suggest a good PSU also, i would appreciate it.
THANKS
