I haven't upgraded my PC at all recently. Decided to purchase a bunch of things. The next thing I am upgrading is the processor, which wont be for a long time.
- nVidia 9800GTX - Corsair 750watt PSU - Media card reader (needed one of these) - LED fan light - 2GB Gskill Ram (now have a total of 4GB) - PCI slot fans (to keep the graphic card cool) - Crysis Installing the power supply was a bit aggravating, I hate tying those bulky cables together. ![]() The 9800GTX compared to my old 8600GT ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Very nice upgrade. The pictures are kinda blurry, but from what I can see, your rig looks pretty good.

Nice upgrade man! I bet that video card is a monster! Now you just need a bit of cable management and you're set to go
