Aww but a Q6600 is almost the same price as what he got, within $20 or so. It's only $190 at microcenter. Isn't a 9800GT OEM only or did they change that

yeah a bigger power supply wouldnt hurt heh
but for the most part its pretty good

a good program to test ur new comp on is 3dmark06 *just google it*
it gives ur average fps in different graphical situations and such, and then after it compares ur computer to others with similar specs as yours.

ya a bigger power supply would be nice but is not completely necessary for his setup. I doubt that AMD quad and a 9600GT would use that much power, the 9600GT only uses 1 6pin connector
