There is no 4x4 pin. Only 1 2x8 input and 2 2x2 connector cords.

Budget: $200
Wants: Graphics card upgrade
Current: Radeon 5770

Can we make this happen? I know little of graphics cards, but it looks to me that I can fit another one on my motherboard. Suggestions?

Instead of a Power supply of 700, can I upgrade to 750.

Ok my bad. I did not know what I was talking about. I am sorry. I say 2x2 because I see 2 pins by 2 pins. Not 4 pins by 4 pins.

But it is what I guess is called the 4x4. http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#eps4plus4.

Again, I'm sorry.

It makes a huge difference in preformence and isn't too expensive.

upgrading to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130683

but I am using the most stufftiest CPU ever, Pentium D 280

how much bottleneck will I get? I currently have the GT 240, so would I get any performance boost?

Hardly if at all I'm guessing. I used to have a Core 2 Duo E8200 and it would bottleneck my GTS 250 by about 10-15%, so I think yours definitely would.

id focus on upgrading the motherboard, ram, and CPU over the GPU.
i'll give an upgrade list if you want, just give me a budget.
whats your PSU?

protip: the amount of pins per connector goes as #+#, not #x#
i told you exactly what to do and you dismissed it

[BlockFry]

say trymos, the case is outta stock on newegg (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/buyS, so can you send me a link to another case.


EDIT: Can this work, i found one hopefully. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112239&Tpk=Lianli%20Lancool%20K62
