Thanks in advance!

I just did. LOL.



Do you really need a floppy drive?

Nice PSU, good price.

drop off a gig of ram and upgrade to 7900gt. it will be much better that way. there is not a tremendous difference between 1 gig and 2 simply because not much really utilizes 2 gigs except for leading edge games which the 7900gt would be better for.

Actually, 2G is pretty nice to have. Yes, it's true not much can use it, but I can run without the swap file which greatly increases load times.

but you can always add another gig and it will end up the same price but if you buy a 7600 and then later want to upgrade its out with the old and you have to buy an entire new card.
