I have a s3521p Slimline PC and I found that it has a 160watt power supply. And this being the case I can not run the EVGA GeForce 8500 GT Video Card which I found needs at least 450watts on a 32bit system. I have a 64bit system. I am assuming I'll need more output with a 64bit system. (that's a guess) And down to my question. I need to upgrade my power supply and I'm wondering what I would need to know to upgrade it. And what wattage should I be looking for? Also the power supply runs REALLY hot and I'm hoping (and assuming) upping the output will let it run cooler. I keep a fan on it constantly but where the fan doesn't hit its toasty there.
If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate the feed back. Thanks.
