Hi guys, well I'm new here, and I got a sweet deal on a computer due to my brother having connections at the county

Anyway, I mostly play strategy games, and I really want to play these two on high settings:

Age of Empires 3
World in Conflict

These are my specs:

CPU: 3.2 GHz Pentium 4
Motherboard: Intel Bonanza D875PBZ (5 PCI, 1 AGP, 4 DIMM, LAN)
Motherboard chipset: Intel Canterwood i875P
Memory: 1 Gb DDR3200 RAM
Video Card: ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128 Mb
HDD: Maxtor 80 Gb 7200 RPM

Now I used the Everest PC diagnosis program to get these, but unfortunately it wouldn't tell me the wattage of the PSU. Is there a program that can tell you?

The wattage and amperage of your PSU will be listed of the side of the unit. You'll need to look for both, to be specific, the amperage on the +12v rail. As for video card recommendations, a 7600gt would fit in nicely, if not the slightly more expensive 7900gs. An extra Gb of RAM will help as well.
