I need you guys to critique my building plans please. Ok so I have a HP computer, the link is here http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/sh...=d5000t_series
and I want to put it into a new case with a 8800gt to replace the 8500gt and also a bigger and better powersupply. Ok so here are the links to the parts I am planning on buying. Here is the power supply I am going to buy which is here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182017 it is an 550 watt so it should give me enough power (right?) At the moment I am debating whether I should get the 8800gt with 256mb of ram and the 8800gt with 512mb of ram. I have a 20 inch widescreen display which I use DVI with. These are the links http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150279 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130319 And know for the case part This is the case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811156063 It's just what I want but I'm not exactly sure if my computer parts will fit in it! I'm pretty sure the PSU will fit but i'm not exactly sure. Also I don't know if my motherboard will fit into the where the screw holes are in the case. And also how do the fans in the case get power? My current fans attach into the motherboard in places like (Back_Fan) and you would just plug it into the motherboard and it would just get power. And lastly the motherboard inputs on the backof the computer are labeled differently than the one on my current computer Ex: Usb's are in different spots etc. Could I just take out the tray and put it in the new computer? Thanks for reading this I want to make sure I have every thing perfect ![]() -jay

Hey lovely I decided on the card that you suggested which was this onehttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150294
I was going to buy cod 4 anyways so it was a good deal lol. With the power supply I am going to buy (In first post) how exactly does it connect because I haven't exactly put together a whole pc together yet so I might need some help on that. thanks -jay

its just a 6-pin connector that goes from the power supply into the video card, its not difficult at all.

How do I know if my motherboard will fit in the screw holes? I don't really know the make of the motherboard but It does say Asus over the motherboard everywhere so It is an asus motherboard.
