I need to wait till I have $ for it xD. Hopefully my graphics design business will go off well.

What's the price of GF8800s these days? Because if I recall correctly the older 8800s are better than the new 9600GTs. You should look into that, Xanathan.

Oh, and my FPS? Not sure, I'll check it Friday when I go back to my apartment again.

Sound isn't bad at all, so just make sure you have room.

Yeah, tell me about it.. My card almost didn't fit to my case. I did not realize that when I bought the case. If the card had been even half a centimer longer it wouldn't have fitted in the case. Rolling Eyes

And the power demands on these new cards are just.. amazing. Mine requires two of those 6-pin 12-volt power lines from PSU.

I myself just built together my computer (after having my low life single core AMD processor fry, taking the mobo with it.)

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 @ 2.5GHz (may overclock it to ~3.2GHz)
Motherboard: EVGA nVidia 780i
Power Supply: Ultra 550W
Video Card: XFX 8500GT (gonna try and get me one of those new 280's)
RAM: 4GB @ 1066MHz Patriot Memory
Hard Drive: 320GB Western Digital
Sound Card: Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy LE, 24-bit 7.1 Surround
Monitor: Some crappy HP 15" LCD

Planning on, as i said, getting me a much higher end graphics card, and hopefully a much better, widescreen monitor
