Lifehacker has just posted up an article about an application which estimates what kind of PSU is needed for your PC. I haven't downloaded it yet, but it's definitely worth keeping if you're upgrading your PC. It's called eXtreme Power Supply Calculator.
ExtremeTech has a good article with tips concerning upgrading a graphics Card.

One tip that I haven't seen in the article is to replace the fan that comes with the card, from experience and advice, the stock cards are bottom of the barrel, inefficient, noisy and cheap. Replacement fans aren't expensive, and are highly recommended if you're really splashing out on a new card.
Well, I'm not sure whether to call this a blog or a sideblog. Either way, it's my personal, never-ending, post-it note, so that when I learn something interesting, it'll find its way here.
