Is your motherboard PCI-E or AGP?

Never mind, Comp USA is just DUMB
It is PCIe. Go for the 7800 ![]() http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130247 This is the one I just got and it's great. There are better ones, with better heat syncs on them you may wish to consider, but I am impressed with this one. BTW, stock temps are around 45*C idle and 60*C max(well, it CAN get hotter, but I've never seen it much more than that)

Would you mind building it yourself? Or did you already buy the computer?
