whats the rest of your pc specs?

If your computer has a PCI express x 16 slot it will work fine, so stop freakin out !

I posted my computer.

These are all I know off the top of my head.

AMD 64x2 dual core 4200+ 2.21ghz
2GB RAM

I have an available PCI-E slot.

If you want me to run CPUZ and find out some other things i will.

Do I need anything to cool my video card or what? and what about the PSU i specified will it also work?

Look at my last post.

hmm. make sure your psu slot on your case will fit a new power supply. looks like you got very lucky with this prebuilt, it is upgradeable!

the reason i say check the size is sometimes companies will use a differently shaped power supply then normal ones, and a normal psu will not fit.

Is the card i want any good? and the dimensions for the case are.

15.4 × 7.3 × 17.9 inches for the whole case.

So everything is set and im all good? no more worrying right..?
