yeah I took another trip to bestbuy, and got the Corsair TX750.

system booted right up, with display working. downloading geforce drivers 191.07 now... About to give Crysis demo a run through.

@happy medium - you're right, it is hard to believe that fsp-group psu can't handle a 9800 gtx+... I guess it could be going bad though. I never had any indication it was going bad with the 1900xtx though

Ive been playing Crysis with the same gpu. It auto set to high.
Just out of curiosity is yours 512mb? Does it set to high settings when you ask it to auto set to optimal settings?
That a nice psu by the way.

Yes, mine is 512mb. Crysis does set to 'high' when I check optimal. I've been tweaking though and it looks like it can handle very high.

Now I'm wondering if I can sli 2 of these cards...
