No, I just want to upgrade my graphic card. I wouldn't know how to OC, anyway. lol I was just concern that it wanted a 425w psu for the 8800gt. Thanks.

How do you check? Can I check the website or do I have to call them? Thanks!

My brand is Delta 400 watt power supply (Part Number: 6506042RDelta 400 Watt Power Supply). I'm not sure how to read the 12V rails. Photo of the label from Gateway

Here is a photo of the inside of my case from Gateway My HD (F) is toward the front. Any suggestions?

Thanks, krmastergt! I wasn't sure you would respond. I create another topic. I'll check the cases section.

I want to upgrade my graphic card from 8500gt to 8800gt. I'm not sure if it can fit into my case. I have 10" of room to fit into my case. Unless I modify my HD cage somehow or get a new case. Where can I get the exact length of graphic cards? I also need to upgrade my psu to use the 8800gt...

I'm working with 10" between the back of the case and the HD cage. Where can I find the length of the 8800gt video card? Do you think I should get a new case and move everything into it? Any suggestions (anybody)?

yes it will be a huge difference, and you might not need to upgrade your psu That's what I thought. My other concern is that the 8800gt with not fit into my case, unless I move or cut the HD cage. Here is a picture of the inside of the case: You see how the cage (F) is blocking. I...

Thanks for the heads up about Geek Squad. I currently have 8500gt. Will it be a huge difference between 8800gt (512) vs 8500gt (256). I think my graphic card and psu (I need to bump this up in order to get the 8800gt card) is bottlenecking my system. Any suggestions? I'm...

I'm in the same boat. I want to upgrade my graphic card to the 8800gt 512, but I need to upgrade my psu. My problem is I do not think I have enough room in my case for the 8800gt, so I'm going to have to make room. I have a gateway. I was debating about letting Geek Squad @ Best Buy do...

Thanks, Billb2. Nothinman your name fits you very well (thanks for nothinman).

I just swapped out my 2x512mb RAM for 2x1gb RAM and it's only showing I have 3.25gb of RAM. I already had 1gb in the other 2 slots. Please advise. Thanks, Derek

Thanks, everyone. I'll try to install and see what happens.
