Alright I now have a good comp. and I am looking for a new Video card again.

No more than $350

I have PCI express with 300 watt power supply.

AMD w an ATI integrated card now

I would like to stick with ATI cause of my intagrated system already.

Then I would go with this. It's about the best you can do for $350 and ATI and PCI xpress, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...1476861&CatId=0

What do you need a beast of a card for?

[jsgolfman 0]

Gaming, mang.

Well I was thinking about getting back into gaming and video work for passing the time when I am stuck in the house.

That is one hell of a card but I did not see were it said that it could be used with a 300 watt power supply.

Oh, didn't see the PArt about your psu, thats gotta go. Pick up a better psu or you wont be able to run any PCIe card, at least not well. I have been real happy with my Enermax 460w I got from Tigerdirect. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...69932&CatId=106

Well if I get that PSU then I have to take away $85 or more to get the Game card.

I am still waiting to find out what you bought! JERK!!

[[COD]Big_Balls 0]

I have not bought anything yet cause of the cost of upgrading my power supply to run a better gaphics card. so as soon as I upgrade my power supply and card I will email you so you will be the first too know.

And name calling is not the way to impress me.

Well... how do you like it? RB liked the sonata... I think it is a decent case.

[jsgolfman 0]

Yeah, its a good case. Who made the psu?

[[COD]Big_Balls 0]

It is a smart power 2.0 by ATX12V.

I am going to put it together tonight.

But the one I did for my brother-in-law It went together Very easly

Good PSU. Let us know if you have any problems.

[[COD]Big_Balls 0]

It went together really easly The only problem I had was putting the board from My other computer in this case with no manual.

Other than that it went together really nice. I had a little problem trying too hook up powerLED to the moby with the hookups that came with the case.

I have a 120mm fan in the back and an 80mm fan that blows right on my prossesor and the 2 fans on the PSU, I dont think that I will have any cooling issues.

Well... how do you like it? RB liked the sonata... I think it is a decent case.

I just bought a Sonata II, I'll be putting my Dual Core P4 in it when I find the time.

And I have no idea how I like it yet. Still in the box.

[Bruceleeon 0]

What exactly are the differences between the sonata and the II. I thought the only differences were the included psu

[[COD]Big_Balls 0]

I like mine it is soo quite I cant even tell it is running.

I have two 80mm fans running on it with one of the fans in the snorkle right over my prossesor.

and the dang thing doesnt get any hotter than 72 degrees.

[Bruceleeon 0]

72??!?!?!? That is MEGA HOT! I would take some action and cool that puppy.

Sorry, missed this.

Still in the box. Don't know.

[[COD]Big_Balls 0]

My bad read the wrong section it was 58 degrees with a 72 degree alarm

Well if you haven't got a video card yet http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102022 is a good card for the price since you spent some of you funds on the psu.
