I have a mobo on my other computer... basically my prob is that I don't know if (Inno3D GF9500GT 512MB 128Bit DDR2 or Inno3D GF9500GT 1GB 128Bit DDR2) is compatible with this mobo... GIGABYTE GA-8I915ME-GV... I also attached the site http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=1932. Hopefully someone could help me.

That means it is.

The PSU is the most commonly overlooked component in a PC yet one of the most important.

There is a sticker on the side of your PSU. PSU stands for Power Supply Unit. You need to have a look at said sticker and let us know what make and model it is, what wattage it is, and how may amps it can output on the 12 volt rail. There may well be more than one 12 volt rail so we will need to know how many there are.

What about make and model?
17amps on the 12volt rail is a bit on the low side these days.
Most systems need 18amps or more.

Go for a good quality 450watt or more and you will be fine.

My advice is to spend as much as you can reasonably afford on your PSU.
A decent quality PSU will last longer, run cooler, and do less or no damage should it fail many years down the line. Decent PSU's also tend to be quieter too.

So, Ric, do you have any suggestion for a good PSU?

Well, I have an eye-t PSU that has given me 4 years flawless service so far....
I have the 450watt dual fan which they no longer make but eye-t PSU's seem to be decent quality and relatively cheap (mine was only £24.99 new).
