Talking New Upgrade *PICS*, Give Me Feedback!

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

I have tried team fortress 2 and was able to play on high with no issues.

I am in the process of overclocking it, I will post my 3dMark scores later tonight.

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

Is your PSU modular?

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
