Upgrade to GeForce 8800 GTX Video Card on HP Pavilion Elite m9250f?

So ive got quite a few questions.



I realize that if i upgrades my HP Pavilion Elite m9250f to

EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX Video Card the computer temperature would skyrocket. So what do i buy to keep the temperature low?



Theres so many different cooling system i dont know what to buy, GPU cooling, liquid cooling, CPU coolings. What do i buy to keep the temp. low when im using full potential of the 8800 GTX.



2. Would buying a better power supply really help?



3. If i transfered all the components of the HP to a new larger case. would heat be a problem? (I would think the heat would disapate with all the extra space)



4. CAN I EVEN TRANSFERS the HP COMPONENTS INTO THE SELECTED CASE?

9800 GTX has a lower power consumption, superior performance, and games slightly faster or equal to the 8800GTX. This means it will put out less heat and less power. Hopefully you wouldn't have to upgrade your power supply. Also, given that it has a 2 slots fan that ejects hot air out the back of the case and produces less heat, I doubt you will have any temperature increase at all, givien the older hotter 8600GT was spitting its hot air into your case.|||Adding a graphics card doesn't really increase the heat in your case by much. If you have 1 or 2 case fans, you'll be fine...no need for a new case. You might see an increase of 2-3 degrees Celsius...nothing to get worked up about.



You do, however, DEFINITELY need a new power supply. The 8800GTX is a huge power hog, and a stock HP power supply isn't going to be able to power it well enough. You should buy at least a decent 600-watt power supply for your system+the 8800, or else nothing in your computer will work properly.
