not really i noticed that i need to get a new PSU cause the video card needs two 6pin PCI-e and i only have one currently .
also i am getting lots of negatives on that video card
edit:
i am going to go along with
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150316 to save some money and it wont require two 6pin PCI-e |

i have a really quick question, i found a card which is pretty much the same as the other one i posted but its 20$ cheaper, it still requires two 6pin PCI-e but i see that the video card includes a Molex to 6-pin PCI cable. Can i just use that instead of buying a new PSU?
also should i get a CPU fan or heatsink? |

I'd go with a Radeon 4850 and a dual core instead.
And yes you can use the adapter, but if your PSU is that old it might be a good idea to buy a new one. |

Why the dual core?
I was also recommended the 4850 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16814125237
and the reviews for it are pretty good
umm the PSU is not that old i actually got my PSU and Case a few months ago. |

What brand and how many watts are on that PSU?
I say dual core because most applications are not completely optimized for multicore chips. For the same price you can get a faster dual core. Really it depends on what apps you will be running the most. |

Final thoughts are throw in some nice cooling, so you can over clock the out of it, and make sure you have a monitor that can do at least 1920x1200, or you will end up wasting damn good hardware running resolutions that would run fine on a slower/cheaper machine.
If you can afford it running two 4850s in crossfire will run games at 2560x1600, but I don't even know how much a monitor that size will cost... at least $1000. |

I have 24 inch Dell so I will be seeing the full potential of the setup
What kind of cooling solution do you have in mind? |
