^^^ The GPU I am going to buy.
I have a Gateway with a 350Watt PSU. I'm wondering if this will run comfortably on it. Thanks in advance.

Probably not comfortably depending on what your components are....I recommend an upgrade to 500.
This is the computer I have.

How about now?
That's what I have in my computer, with a 350 watt power supply and it works fine.

Could you tell me how it handles Crysis? Assuming you've tried on your computer. My 8300 can run it on low-medium relatively well. I'm hoping for quite an increase graphical wise.
This GPU requires a minimal 300Watt PSU and I think it's more powerful.

Can anyone confirm if it's more powerful the the original 8600 I posted? If so I'm getting this card.
You should be fine. I have an 8600gt on mine and a 450watt power supply.
