I have this computer.

Click ^^ for PC specs. :3

Are these parts compatible with the a6807c?

Nvidia 9800gtx 1gb.
Q6600 2.4GHz
500 Coolmaster Watt's

And if any better parts that you know of that are under the budget of 350$, please list them. ^^

Yeah, that should all work fine in your current PC, as long as there's space for the graphics card...

 

[Julian]

is the card compatible with the motherboard?

Yes, it says:

1 PCI x16 slot for graphics card

Q6600 haha :3 not e6600. And is the GTX 560 compatible w/ my motherboard to? Just wanna make sure.

 

[claptonman]

Oh, whoops. I said E6600 but the Ebay link is a Q6600.

And yes, a x16 PCI 2.0 is plenty for any graphics card out there today.
