New Video Card:

Keep my 2 512's of pc2700 ram, and add another gig of it
Use a spare 120gb 7200 rpm HD i have as my main drive, and have a backup 40 gig drive(my current drive)
keep my current case
and use my current 2.8ghz p4
What yall think...I want to keep it to a rather minimum in cost, but still have a good computer that I can play my games at higher graphics levels.....
Any input wanted...
-Thanks in advance

Yeah am talking physically. I think the dimension 2400 cases are microatx.

it is Matx, i think there was a thread here with the same question, but it was a 2350, the MOBO you want to put is an atx which is to big for DELL case and you still have to get a new PSU coz DELL PSU wont work for new MOBO, but CPU/RAM/HDD is compatible. :)

Gonna scream new PSU and possible new case

Good call on the 6800 but you might consider the X800Pro as it ships with GDDR3 memory ... the reason i suggest this is that both the 6800NU and X800Pro (which have 12 pipes) can be unlocked to have 16 pipes and essentially be a 6800GT or X800XL/XT. An additional difference between the 6800NU and the 6800GT is the lack of GDDR3 memory (which limits memory overclocks)
