I'm using Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.17 Ghz|||hi kris
as long as your motherboard has a pci-express x16 bus (slot ) and you have a 450w or better power supply ( with 26A or more on the +12v rails ) you will be able to use the GIGABYTE Geforce GTS450 in your pc
in regards to your processor the Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 is still a capable processor.... and will work well with the GTS450...... however do remember you need 2gb of ram or more to get the best out of this card.... its not essential,you can actually run this card with just 1gb of ram..however games will run better with 2gb or more of ram
finally you should also ensure you pc has adequate cooling as all decent graphic cards especially nvidia based cards get pretty warm when gaming.... however a side mounted fan and a exhaust fan at the back of your pc should be enough to remove hot air from the case
however the more cooling the better.... and some cases such as the Coolermaster HAF 912 ( http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component… ) .. the HAF stands for high air flow and this range of cases are popular among pc enthusiasts as it has some of the best cooling set ups in the business..... this case is the entry level HAF ... however you can get bigger versions with even better cooling
so as long as you meet the requirements as mentioned above you will be able to safely run the GIGABYTE Geforce GTS450 in your system
i hope this helps kris,any questions let me know
good luck mate !|||Yep, as long as you have a power supply with a 6-pin pci-e adapter.|||yes no problem.
