I recently ordered a new video card and a new PSU for my computer. I bought a 7900 GTX eVGA 512 vid card, and a 550W Rosewill PSU.

The PSU weighs quite a bit, and it has blue LED lights in it. I'll post pics of the vid card and PC when it gets here. I'll then post my new PC specs.
Dude... the 8 series is coming out fairly soon... at which point the prices on the 7 series cards are going to drop. You bought at the wrong time.:(
Ah, if thats teh case, then rock on.
I cant top the crappy card debate.
geforce2 mx 400. Amount paid: zero. :cool:
Well, like you said when the nex gen video cards come out, current video card's prices will drop. Maybe you'll be able to pick up something more powerful.
I'll be buying a whole new system
Yeah, I can see how that'd be a better choice.
Just stay away from DFI lanparty, mine just went bad on me after a year and I heard that its been happening a lot. I just got a new ABIT mobo! Oh and Roger when are the specs coming up :o
Sorry specs took so long, the video card arrived earlier today.

oh ***. I've only got a Geforce 6200 TC (64mb), and that's all I was allowed to spend.
I'm prety lucky, at a computer fair found an ATI Radion 9550 for 60$ (this waas a couple of years ago) and to this day it can still let me play the newer games like Half Life 2, Doom 3, Battlefield 2 i am verry satisfied. However in a couple of months when my dad gets a bonus, he will be buying a costimized xps from dell (gonna kick ***) and i will b gettin his old top of the line computer.
P.S. he has all these good computer parts because he works on games for a living ([url]www.igaworldwide.com[/url])
Mind me asking what brand of ram you got? Oh and nice computer, like wtf are you running on that lol.
I just got some new parts myself. I got an AMD64 3200+ and a Gigabyte GA-K8NS board. My friend wanted to get rid of it, and I wanted a faster computer so I took it off his hands really cheap. The case this came with was insufficent for me because it only had three 3 1/2 bays, but right now I have 4 HDDs. It's a shame because it was a nice case otherwise. But I ended up swapping some hardware between cases, and put the new board, proc and ram into my machine. I rebuilt my old machine into the other case. I'll either sell it or turn it into a file server. So far this is running pretty nice.
