|
What is SATA II? And how I find out of my mobo supports it.
What is a good GPU/PSU? I have 200-350 dollars to spend.

SATA 2 is just a better version of SATA which the transfer rate is twice as much as the regular SATA and SATA 2 cables has a locking mechanism.
For PSU, get a Corsair brand.

For a GFX card I'd suggest the HD 4890.
For the PSU I'd go with either this or this.

Because with the release of the new series, they are cheaper.
Not to mention the 5 series is out of his range, and why would you buy a 5 series right now if you can wait? Hopefully they will have a 5890 soon.
The time to buy a 5 series just isn't now; besides, the 4 series is remarkable, even today.

The HD5850 will run at about $260-$270, just about right to go with a new PSU (not accounting taxes).
Look up your motherboard model (usually through searching for the model of your system); you should be able to find all the specs you need on the internet.
