Hi Guys

Im looking at buying a barebundle kit Order no.BB-8304A
Novatech Barebone Bundle - Intel Quad Core Q8300 - 4Gb DDR2 800Mhz - Intel G31 Motherboard - 3 Bay ATX Tower Case & 550w PSU

I'd like to stick in this graphics card - order no. NOV-2501
Novatech GeForce GTS 250 SLI 1024MB GDDR3 TV-Out/VGA DVI PCI-Express - Retail with PhysX, CUDA & 3D Stereo

i heard that the card has two PCI-E Power Connector placements and that the PSU needs a dedicated PCI-E power connector built into it. Will the bundle support it? Also it seems to be quite chunky and will it fit onto a micro ATX board?

Also.... how much will it cost to ask to have the graphics card fitted before delivery?

Cheers guys :D

Hi if the psu does not have any pci-e connectors dont worry because you should get some molex to pci-e adapters either with your psu or graphics card included. and the card will fit fine on a micro atx board.
