    I thought you only needed 350W.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Thats what I was looking at actually, 400 watt tho.
    why do you want 400W? If you plan on upgrading the vid to card to say 7800gt, you'll need atleast 480W. As i said , PSU only take up the neccessary amount of power needed. So your computer won't be running at a constant 500W, incase you're worried about the electric bill.... Who ever manages the prices at Office Depot should be slapped also. You can get an OCZ powerstream 520W psu for around 120$

    I was looking at a OCZ Modsteam 450 watt, http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...Z%20Technology

    Looks quite noice imo, the price is good too, money right now is the issue so thats why I cant go heavy duty.

    Well I got that PSU, its great only down side is the cords arent very flexable, especially the mainboard connector. Never the less its great. The 6600GT is quite nice too

    Yeah, those ModStreams (like the X-connects) double sheath the wiring (silver wrap encased in plastic tube) and can be quite stiff and unwieldy.
    A hairdrier might help relax them some, one of our customers claims that's how he got his to bend to his will.
    His installation looks OK...

    Glad you're enjoying the new vid card.
    Have your framerates in PONG improved?

    Heh, in DOD:S and CS:S I get pretty decent FPS usually in the 80's-100 range. One dissapointing this is the heatsink on the videocard pretty much like fell off when I took it out of the box.... one of the pins wasnt even pushed in that holds the heatsink on Do I need to re-apply the thermal paste to it? Ive got some antec formula 5
