Q: This is my pc http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/gateway-gt5622-pentium-dual/4507-3118_7-32716553.html can my comp handle xfx geforce 8500? or if it doesn't what video cards would you recommend? thanks
A: Yes it will. The 8500 is a slightly faster version of the 8400, which is at the bottom of the 8series range, and requires very little power, and that which is required is fed to the card via the motherboard. If you were to buy an 8600 you would find yourself facing stability issues, but the 8500 will be fine, without a doubt.
