geforce 9800gt in my xps 420?
I would like to put an EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 512MB in my xps 420 but I only have the 375 watt psu. Will it work? Will the card fit? This is the one I'm looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130380. If I need a better psu what should I get?
Edit: Would this psu happen to fit? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153077

It's a good card. you may want to look at price differences with 9800GTX+. I believe it'll run on that PSU. I have a 9800GX2 in my 420 with the 425W PSU. I would recommend it except for your 375W PSU.
What do you have now. Check out this link and decide by what you play most:

The GTX260 Core 216 definitely works with the 425W PSU.

The 9800gtx+ didn't work with my XPS 420 with 425w.... :emotion-45:
I was able to install and start up, but it kept on rebooting the OS....
