Adding a 500w power supply and an AMD Radeon HD 6850


I'm debating between putting in the power-supply upside down or not... The old power supply had to fan on the top and this one does. It looks like it won't get enough air-flow if it is put in right-side up. (Or I'm a moron and the fan is supposed to face down...)

Submerge it in mineral oil, and your computer will be extremely cool. Pun not intended.

Nahnah I'm an Intel guy.. the only thing I don't like about Intel is the price, but the performance scales are epic.

I think the reason I don't like AMD is because I don't understand hoe the chipsets work/differ.

AMD is better for photo/video editing. Intel is better for games. But with my 6 core AMD Phenom II @ 3 ghz, I haven't found a game I can't run maxed.

If you've got a 6850, make sure you've got a CPU that won't bottleneck your system and cause the card to not run at its full potential.

I feel low tech.

NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GE. Laptop Dedicated GPU, but it's terrible... sorta. Roblox just scrapes stable 30FPS.

My phone is a quadcore 1.5GHz, Nvida Tegra, however in comparison, my laptop is a single core 2.1GHz.

I really need a new computer. Badly!

"AMD is better for photo/video editing. Intel is better for games."

You have it backwards. Intel processors are better for photo/video editing because of HyperThreading. However, HT has been shown to cripple game performance. AMD processors, on the other hand, can handle games nicely, but lags behind Intel processors for tasks that benefit from virtual cores.
