Well, today I upgraded my GFX card, with my ATI 3780 not working properly under Ubuntu how I liked, I got an 8800gt 1gb.
An hour after plugging in, everything turns off and the PSU blows out smoke, POP. It's too hot to touch too.
SO, I'm calling on all your wisdom.
I'm thinking a 600-750w PSU should do the trick. I don't want to spend a shedload, but I also don't want to put something in my system if a) nothing works because its all had 250v pumped through it or b) is just going to cause another overload.
I have two hard drives, one DVD drive, an Nvidia 680i motherboard, core 2 duo 8xxx processor (I forgot the model) and an Nvidia 8800gt graphics card.
What would you suggest right now?
