Hey ladies and gents,
I'm fixing up my PC and so I bought a new video card. Problem is, now I need to juice up my power supply to something along the lines of 600-800 watts. My only concern is accidentally nuking my motherboard with a new power supply. Is there a certain power supply that would prevent that from happening? Should I just get a new motherboard all together? (the computer is a HP Pavilion HPE 500F) Or am I just scaring myself?
