hello all. its been a long time since ive been here. merry x-mas. so i am wondering what the desktop in my sig is worth. im NOT selling it, just wanting to know what the value of it is these days. thankyou kindly. Also, what are your opinions about the power supply. Is it a good one? Just got it so im not sure of it yet, but have had no problems at all with it, and it has 45 amps on single rail. thanks again, and have a happy new year!

wow thanks for the fast replies. what about the power supply. is it a good one? o know the gpu is a litlle outdated, but plays all my games no problem later im thinking to upgrade to a 4890 by ati (the evga version) add a memory card reader. its all hooked up to a 32 in lcd tv running at 1080p, and supprisingly with only 512MB of memmory on the gpu still runs great while gaming. would i notice an improvment in gaming on my 32 in by upgrading to the 4890? would the 1gig memmory perform significantly better over the 512 on the tv? thanks again for the replies, and by the way, the games i play are geneeraly fear, timeshift, bioshock, need for speed carbon, guitar hero 3 and guitar hero aerosmith. games that i am going to be getting are need for speen shift, cod modern warfare 2 and assisns creed 2
 
so if i were to get the 4890, would i see the difference in the current games im playing, even though i am running all of them maxed out?..like would the shading and alaising and all that look better even though its already running at max with my 8800gt on a 32in tv? and if i were to get it, with my current set up in my sig, would it be future proof for a while, how long would you say?also, right now my cpu runs about 62 degrees celcius under gaming load, is this okay? it idles around 40, and i have it overclocked from 2.4 to 3.0 the 4890 would cost me about $190. is there another card i should consider for the same price that is just as good or better, or can i overclock the card pretty well if i need to? ive heard that when overclocked it can be close to or same as stock gtx285. comments please and thank you so much for the input and guidance...oh and again, is my psu up to par and good quality? sorry for all the ? in 1 thread im new to all this techy stuff and there is so much i want to know. happy holidays
 
well i dont think your accurate. i play timeshift, fear, need for speed shift, guitar hero 3 and aerosmith all maxed out on 1080p 32in lcd tv. i wouldnt bother playing them if they wernt able to look good, might as well get a ps1 or 2 if i wanted to do that. i know it wont max out other games, but the ones i do have will max them out all the way, with no lag. i just know its at the end of its life with newer games coming out, and ive tried the 4890 today and gaming is good, but no difference in the games i currently play obviosly since im already playing them maxed out, but the movie play back is worse than the 8800gt for some reason, all grainy and blocky. so i reinstalled the 8800gt for now and the clarity is back to how it should be with my dvds. i have no idea why the 4890 would do that, ive cleaned out all other drivers, did a reg cean and anything else i could think of and still not so good quality with dvds. so my 8800gt is working for now but i think ill try a gtx260? hows that comparible to the 4890? is it a descent overclocker? could i get it overclocked to say be comparible to a 275 or 285?...thanks for the opinions and if any one has some insight to the grainyness and blockyness l please let me know. iv tinkered with the ccc and avivo settings with no improvement. i know its not the movie because they are all original dvds, and they are crystal clear with the 8800gt so its the 4890 thats making them that way. thanks again
