HP a1740N PSU?

Hello,

I am thinking of purchasing this PC:

However they don't seem to publish what PSU they use at the HP website?

Just wondering what PSU comes with this setup? I am planning on adding a 7900GT video card to it and was wondering if I needed to upgrade the PSU?

Thanks.

    Seems like a fairly up to date system. The mothrboard has a PCI_E expantsion slot, so your ok there (as long as your getting a 7900gt Pci-E card). I would think your ok, as the system has one hard drive, one disk drive, a memory card reader. Not a crap load of fans. There is not a whole lot of stuff drawing power. The 7900 wil require one of the spare power adapters, and I believe one will have to be available. Id take the chance that it is beefy enough. It is strange that they don't mention the power rating for the PSU.
