Here is my computer, HP Pavilion M8300F(GX611AA) Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3GB DDR2 640GB NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT Windows Vista Home Premium:




Here is the graphics card I am replacing it with.
Here

My room gets no cross breeze or draft, so it gets very hot fast. I'm think about getting the Arctic Cooling Unit, Accelero S1 to help it a bit. Do you think both(if the S1 can't fit, its ok) will fit in there fine and lower the temp hopefully? And extra measures/steps I should take?

Also, is there any other hardware I need to replace? Like my stock psu, do I need to replace that? And what would you recommend if yes?

Thx for the help!!!

you will definately have to replace the psu. the corsair 550VX should be enough.

but the HD4850 is a better bang for the buck card.

Trust me. After extensive research, this card will definitely be the best.
