    Ah upgraded mah computron

    So I bought a GeForce 8800GT, and a 500watt power supply. The whole tower came with a 350watt, and thats not enough for the new video card. The new video card is HUGE.

    On top is my old Geforce 7300LE, and on the bottom is the 8800GT.


    Picture of all the crap inside after adding all the new stuff.


    Now Ive just gotta tweak all the settings a little more, and I should have this thing running anything and everything. I dont have any games yet that would really push it though like Crysis or whatever. Best looking things I have are Orange Box. TF2 I can run everything on maximum, which is pretty cool.

    Ive already got a 3ghz Pentium Duo, and 2gig of ram. I could use another HD though. My 120gig is getting pretty full, and I keep looking through all my stuff and I dont want to delete any of it. Thats next on my list, but not for a while. The 8800GT and Powersupply cost waaaaaaay too much. But then again I only update my PC like once every 2 years, so it kinda evens out. I wont have to upgrade again for a while.

        Keeping PCs upgraded for gaming is too expensive and confusing to be worthwhile as far as I'm concerned. I like the simplicity of consoles. If it's for my systerm I can play it, period. I just want a laptop I can play Sims 2, WoW, and The Movies on.
        I want that Mulan McNugget sauce, Morty!

                no wonder why you need so much power, look at all the cooling fans you have in there. i over clocked my old pc and strapped one of those bad boys to the graphics card, worked great but produced huge amounts of heat even with the fan.

                Thank you Ωbright for the sig fix!
