I'm on AGP and my power supply is fine{thank you very much}:disgust:

BTW-I have sold my 6600GT so I guess I need a video card. Which one? X850XTPE or 7800GS.....?

Is that agp?
 
no, the only 7 series card that's agp is the 7800gs, which is nowhere near the performance of a 7800gt but still $300

get a DFI or maybe even epox board with PCI-e for ~$100

get a 6800GS. the 6800GS for PCI-e is better than the agp one i believe.

or you could get the motherboard only for now and save up $70 so you can get a 7800gt
 
For $300ish, probably a little more, get a 7800GT with a SLI mobo combo from eVGA. It might be around $330 but well worth it. The 7800GS is a waste of time and a bad value compared to the PCIe 20 piped GT.
 
7800 GS AGP unless you don't really game or need graphics horsepower. In that case I'd go with more storage and a better PSU.
