What power supply do I need for my gaming PC?

Q. First of all, my setup works just fine when I'm gaming on sc2 and various steam games like civ5 and prime 95 type programs etc etc, so this is just out of curiosity i guess....
So my question is, do I need a bigger power supply supposedly???
I know that sounds ridiculous since it works fine with no blips at all, but why does everyone I talk to say I need a bigger power supply?
Am I just not pushing the system hard enough?
Oh, my watt consumption is like 350watts MAX during high end gaming from the wall including my speakers and monitor etc on the same surge protector.

Are power supply estimates really that far off?? Or will getting a newer power supply get me better power consumption or something ie less consumption through better power usage/ efficiency....

A. There is nothing wrong with your system. To be sure, it may even be envied by many in comparison. However, your friends who say you need a bigger power supply may be owners of the Alienware Aurora R4 which boasts incredible capabilities.

"The Aurora R4 - This is the fourth Revision of the Aurora. It is based on Intel's X79 platform (LGA 2011 socket). This model shares identical hardware with the Aurora ALX (R4). Processors include Core i7 processors only (third generation quad core and hexacore Sandy Bridge Extreme). In order of model number: i7 3820, i7 3930K (six core) and i7 3960X (six core). Sealed liquid cooling units for the processors came factory installed. The R4 is the first to use Quad Channel Memory and has Dedicated Graphics Card options from AMD's HD 6000 series and HD 7000 series line as well as Nvidia's GTX 500 series line. Nvidia's GTX 600 series line will be added later this year. Power Supply options included a 525 watt Power Supply Unit and an 875 watt Power Supply Unit. Power Supply and Motherboard supports both SLI and CrossfireX. -Note: The optional ALX chassis offers Thermal Controlled Venting, too-less/wireless Hard Drive Bays, internal Theater lighting and an extra array of external LEDs. Coupled with the TactX Keyboard and Mouse it offered up to 25 billion lighting color combinations. it makes a big penis."


can i run Civilization V on the NVIDIA GeForce 6150se nForce 430?
Q. i don't really know much about computers i want to buy this graphics card and my friends going to sell me the NVIDIA GeForce 6150se nForce 430 but it says the minimum requirement is 256 mb nVidia 7900 GS. can you tell me which ones better?

A. No, you can't run Civ5 with that.

The GeForce 6150se isn't even a real card- a really old integrated graphics chipset built-in to the motherboard. It's fine for everyday work but much too slow for games. Here's the overall hierarchy chart, as you can see the 6150se is far below a 7900GS.

I think your friend misquoted what he was going to sell you, unless he's trying to sell a whole computer. I don't think the GeForce 6150se exists as a standalone card, the closest you could get is a GeForce 6200 (which is still way too old & slow)

You'll need to install a graphics card. What are the specs for your computer- CPU, RAM, and power supply? The PSU rating determines which cards can be installed. If your computer is a brand-name like Dell, Acer, Compaq or HP, what's the exact model number? Is it a regular tower or a slimline/compact unit?

I hope you've got a regular desktop, since you cannot change the built-in graphics on laptops.

These are inexpensive graphics cards which would work:
