Ideally, these are the components I would like to upgrade to:
Video card (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4115418&Sku=B52-9814)
Power supply (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4252527&csid=ITD&body=MAIN#detailspecs)
I guess my questions are:
Are these components compatible with my computer?
Will they fit into my computer's case?
And in general, is there anything I should be concerned with if I try to upgrade with these components?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
