So he might be able to barely run it. But I don't know how accurate that site is. Or what should be the amperage on the 12v lead of the PSU for a 8500GT. Even though 8500GT doesnt require and external power source, the PSU should still be able to maintain the power drain through the motherboard right ? So a cheap 250W might not cut it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
