    Thanks for the advice but I decided to go with a Evga 6800gs for a game called Maximum Football. It has 3d graphics not Madden like but being able to make plays and use them in a league is nice.

    My crt is dying could it possibly cause damage

    to my video card. My crt will make a popping noise and then shut off. I have to press the button a few times for it to come back on. Could that be the cause for my 6600gt catching fire last week? I only have $200 to either replace the card or find a decent LCD for about $240.

    Quiet but powerful Case with PSU.

    I agree with this case. I also got it for my first build it was easy and it is quiet. Newegg had it listed with a 450psu but it is 480 2.0 $20 less than Monarch. The best thing is my wife likes it.
