I posted my computer.

These are all I know off the top of my head.

AMD 64x2 dual core 4200+ 2.21ghz
2GB RAM

I have an available PCI-E slot.

If you want me to run CPUZ and find out some other things i will.

Do I need anything to cool my video card or what? and what about the PSU i specified will it also work?

hmm. make sure your psu slot on your case will fit a new power supply. looks like you got very lucky with this prebuilt, it is upgradeable!

the reason i say check the size is sometimes companies will use a differently shaped power supply then normal ones, and a normal psu will not fit.

Is the card i want any good? and the dimensions for the case are.

15.4 × 7.3 × 17.9 inches for the whole case.

So everything is set and im all good? no more worrying right..?

look at your motherboard. is there about an inch past that free? if so then it will fit fine. if not then odds are it will still fit, but it might be tight.

you do not have pci-e 2.0 but the 8800GT does not excel much with it, it is almost exactly the same. and they are easily backwards compatible

EDIT: if your still on, im downloading msn right now to talk.
