I've almost now spent more than a new computer at bestbuy. Waiting on the new video card now. ASUS motherboard with an intel quad core 3.3Ghz chip 6Gs of ram and now an cheaper than the expensive video cards out now but 100x better video card than my last one. [/qb][/QUOTE]DAMN! Do you have an Intel Core i7 975 Extreme Edition 3.3GHz 6.4GT/s LGA1366! I think the lga775 maxes out at 3ghz with the Q9650. You are going to need a new power supply if you didn't purchase one already. Going with a midline video card I would suggest getting at least a 600w+ antec, corsair, some fsps, or seasonic power supply. They are efficient and have stable rails. Your old power supply is most likely a 20 pin and you'll need a 24 pin. A solid pw is the most critical component of a PC. Also I would definitely spend 50 more bucks and get a new hard drive for your OS. No point in purchasing 6GB of ram and a 3ghz quad when your HD will bottlenecking it. PATA drives max out an avg of 100 M/B sec while SATA drives are around 150 MB/SEC+ The difference in your build is significant. If you purchased the chip that I think you purchased, you should be looking into SSD hard drives. Make sure you run 64 bit Vista or Win7. Any 32bit windows maxes out at 3.5gb of ram even if it recognizes more. Google physical address extension for more info about it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
