    I put in 2 8 gig sticks of ram took out my 2 gig

    I already told you that is was rated at 300W. I just wondered why you were concerned about opening it whilst you were going to have to open it in order to insert the RAM.
    How much did 2 x 8 GB of RAM cost you? Why??

    If you don't want to spend the money, then use your DVI port.

    having just checked the spec of your onboard gfx, no the one I linked to isn't better, on a par at best. Sorry, missed your post with your existing gfx when I posted that link :o

    As nifty says try the DVI port first. That will give you digital video from PC to monitor.

    You'll need DVI to HDMI adatper. Presumably you have a HDMI cable? In that case you'll need a "HDMI female to DVI male" adapter like this
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HDMI-Male-to-DVI-Female-Adapter-Converter-HDMI-to-DVI-Gold-Plated-/221565924668?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item33965bb53c
    Which will plug into the DVI slot at the back of your PC.

    You may already have one in the boxes that came with your PC. Many PC's come with adapters.

    You wont get any extra video performance, but the picture should be sharper.
