Any 1650 AGP (even the Pro) should run just fine with your PSU.

agreed. It seems you also are running an OCZ Gamerextreme 600w jobbie.

no im talking about DIFFERENT computer. This one has a thermaltake 430W PS with 18A on 12v, 28A on 3.3V and 30A on 5v

I take it as it is a back up rig or one for internet **** it i don't care what you use it for. It should run just fine on your PSU that you have already.

its going to be like a second comp for people to play lan games with me when they come over

I think you should be fine
