Default I NEED YOUR HELP GUYS!!! Please (PSU and Video Card)

Hi guys.

I'm buying this:

http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...849&pfp=SEARCH


I want a 7800 GT and a 500W PSU from Newegg.com

Please show me the best ones for me (please keep it as cheap as possible) and please make sure they are COMPATIBLE (my brother mentioned ATX vs. microATX or something).

We don't know much about computers, so please help!

Thanks a lot guys.

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?
