KenB Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Is there a broad grey cable in the case that is attached from the m/board to the hard drive ? The cable is flat and about 2 inch ( 50 mm ) wide.

maynardvdm Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 The broad grey wire is for IDE, you have SATA so it is not needed. Quote We are all members helping other members.

KenB Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 As Maynard confirms - your Hard drive is SATA. (although your actual connections look non-standard) That PSU you linked to will do the job :) The inside of your case looks very dusty - it would benefit from a clean. Use a can of compressed air ( any computer shop or Halfords ) or a soft brush. This is best done outside - for obvious reasons.

Lenovo Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Better Ehh Thanks To All Of You !! Well Whick One Is A Better PSU And Will Work Better And More.. http://www.dabs.com/products/best-value-storm-500w-psu-120mm-fan-pfc-8509.html?refs=55420000&src=3 and http://www.dabs.com/products/best-value-alpine-500w-psu-120mm-red-fan-78ZN.html?refs=375290000&src=3 THANKS And Once You Choose A PSU , Can You Please Also Suggest Me A Graphics Card. Just For Movies And Call Of Duty 4..None Other Games I Play .. I Can Run Call Of Duty With My Intregated Graphics Card.. It Lags A Bit , So You Could Get Me A Good Graphics Card THANKS And BTW the First PSU Dont Have The 20+4 Pin ( Dont Know What It Is ) So Im Guessing The Second One Would Be Better !! And It Can Run For-Ever ( I mean That I will Not Have To Change It For The Next 5-8 Years :) Edited January 6, 2013 by Lenovo Quote
KenB Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 The Storm seems the better of the two. 44 Pin; 4 pin +12V; 1 x 6 pin Pci-e; 3 x SATA; 3 x 4 pin power; 1 x floppy connector I think the "44 pin" is a miss-type and should be 24 pin as this is the standard power connection to the motherboard. It has a PCIe 6 pin power connection which some video cards need. I will Not Have To Change It For The Next 5-8 Years Your system is old now. Adding a 500 Watt PSU and a video card is not going to future-proof it. Even with the PSU and Video Card you will find gaming limited. I don't like advising people on how to spend their hard-earned cash. I prefer you to make a decision based on information received. It depends what you want to spend on a card - and many medium to high-end cards need much more than 500 Watts. Take a look here: click here click here too You need to know if the card will run on 500 Watts ( most of these from eBuyer will ) You also need to know if it will fit in the space available in your case. ( I am not sure how much height you have available ) I still suggest that you get the PSU first and get this working before you spend more cash.
