Dear everyone,
I was wondering of if you guys could help me.
I have this Lenovo M910 Thinkcentre desktop.

I need to upgrade the video card for gaming and would like to buy this graphic card Radeon R9 280x http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-4.html
I was told to upgrade my power supply, and was looking to get this one http://www.misco.ch/product/400049321/SHARKOON-WPM700-V2-700W-ATX-PSU-80PLUS
So 1 basically have 3 questions:
1/ are the graphic card and power supply compatible with my desktop?
2/ is the 700w power supply sufficient? I dont have anything fancy: 8gb ram, 1hard drive 500gb (but might consider a second one) and a dvd drive.
I read on Amazon, someone said to get 750w minimum… Is it really nevessary?
3/ do you know where i can get a video tutorial to install both components? Its really my first time doing it.
Thanks very much in advance for all the help you can give me! :)
