I just got a new computer since my laptop fucked up a few days ago it has a

Intel Dual core 1.6Ghz
2 Gig ram
2 Case Fans (FANS GLOW :D)
150GIG HDD
Nvidia Geforce 8600GT XXX-EDITION
Antec 380W

As you can see i have a Antec 380W PSU would a 9500GT Work with it
I called up computer store near my house and they said "You can try it and if it doesnt work give it back"
so what should i do

Doesn't have much power there, don't expect to do anything great on it.

That's a pretty old rig...don't expect gaming miracles on it.

380W should run it fine.
