    I'm just worried about my PSU. As other people have stated that the dell psu's are understated but still it worries me. SO what you are saying is that 2600XT > X800 > X1650 How good is newegg at returns. If lets say I got a 2600xt and my psu couldnt handle it. Can I get my money back?

    What kind of card can I get to replace my 9800 pro?

    Can my system handle it. Also I've had about 6 really bad experences with e-bay so as of now because I've lost so much money off of it I've kinda sworn it off. Do any stores carry this because Newegg doesnt carry it and now I tend to only trust online stores and not ebay sellers.
