OK i need to upgrade my video card. In order to do this I need to upgrade my powersupply( i think its only 350w). Also I am going to be a new case because this case is small and everythings crambed in it and airflow sucks.
Im going with the Antec 900 case. Awesome cooling, i dont think theres a better case for cooling in its price range. Also its super quite in low fan speeds and allows you to change fan speeds.3 fan speeds. This case will allow me to use any powersupply i want and also any graphics card with out worring about stuff not fitting and everthying will run cool. Any other case recomendations? What you guys think about it? Know anyone that has one?
Antec 900- Sale $124 Reg. $139

Im not sure what graphics card to get. Im going with one of the Nvidia 8800 cards for sure. Quiter and use less power than the Ati cards as of right now. Was gonna go with the 8800GTS 320mb card, awesome card. But decided the 8800GTS with 640mb would be better for my 22 inch monitor and for when i hook it up to my high definition tv. Also helps with higher resolution gaming. I personnaly dont think its worth spending $500 or more in a graphics card right now. I would rather spend from $279 to $399 now, and maybe in the future get another of these cards and run dual SLi. So whats your guys opinion on this? Do any of you have these and what you think abot them? These are the spesific ones im looking at.
Nvidia 8800GTS -320mb- Overclocked- best deal i think out of all the 320mb cards-EVGA has awesome cards and warranty.$294

When it comes to powersupplys i dont know much.
I have heard alot of good stuff about PC power and Cooling power supplys. They rate their stuff alittle differently. instead of peak power they use continous power. Although their prices are a lllitle high. OCZ just bought them out and OCZ has some reaell nice prices too.
I need to be able to run a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz Proccesor, One of the above video cards and also 2 in SLi mode in the future, 3 Gigs of RAM, TV Tuner/recorder, a DVD burner, media card reader, once i ge tthe new case i need to run 4 120mm fans and 1 200mm fan.
I know the PC power and Cooling Silencer 750 quad will run this system easy dou to i have seen it run PCs that cost $10.000 and more. But i think this powersuppply might be over kill. and its not cheap. Its $199 right now. Regular Price is $249

the other one is the OCZ one Great Price, unsure if it can handle a PC setup liek mine. and Also continue to handleit once i get another video card going in SLi mode. Sale- $139 reg. $149

If their are any other questions of info you need fell free to ask. I know im going to get this stuff in the next month maybe even week. I am sick and tired of having a wicked PC and but a lame graphics card. I currently have a Nvidia 7350 LE with 128mb. Great for BHD not so great for all newer games. Everyother game looks like carp specially since the video card doesnt do so well at high resolutions. It makes ARMA look like crap at least at my standards. It make new games look worse than the old games. I MUST UPGRADE!!!!!!
