I suppose I should've checked my power supply first, but surely it'll hold up to this.

NVIDIAs dont require as much power as radeons, and run efficiently. You should be good assuming a 450 or 500

thanks for you help stout and jeff. hopefully i'm back on my feet come monday.

i was pretty disappointed in my old graphics card anyhow, having to use vga and not get the full resolution capability wasn't cutting it.
kind of defeated the purpose in owning a sweet monitor.

new case: mine is a POS. ex-girlfriend broke the plastic window side panel last year. it's just sucking in dust and dirt now.


Fractal Design Define R4. Best mid sized case I have ever used. Great, great case. They were on sale for $70 on Ncix.com and may still be.

Yes more and more converts to the fractal team. It really is a tank of a case, especially at that price.

Like I said 70 bucks for a case of that quality and versatility is a screaming deal.
