Yea, I'm not a big fan either.... nVidia FTW!
I've decided to keep the ati card for a while though, maybe for the next month or so.
Then I'm going to sell it and get a 512MB GT

But I'm still looking at PSU's here.... I like silverstone's PSU's, there sleek, quiet, module (most of them).... any other suggestions?

I'm running this bad boy: Newegg.com - HIPER HPU-5K680 ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V v2.91 680W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CE, CB, TUV, FCC - Retail

Love it so far, our review for it is here: Hiper Type R Mk. II 680watt Power Supply Review

No one seems to have commented the machine.

Very nice as you say sell the 2900 for a GT

Yeh I can see what you guys are saying a PSU upgrade may be in order.
I rekon the 550 could do the job for short term after all you wanna get the machine up and running.


I need to meet this HP guy!! haha FREE!!

Well done man and I hope you enjoy and at least yopur ghost recon will rock on that sort of machine then to test it on UT3 and Crysis.

Thanks thomtom!
I'll be keeping the 2900xt for a little bit, then I'll get the GT.

Yea, I've been researching, the PSU thing, and decided on that one above, can't wait to get it!

I can't wait to get into games again, I've been without them for a while now... Ghost Recon is fun online, as I've got several friends with it. But I don't think my parents are going to let me play games like UT3 or Crysis...

Thanks all!

I hate your HP friend...

[Elysium]

HOLY SH!T man, you got all those of FREE?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! Lucky son of a.....

Enjoy the parts man! Silverstone PSU's are highly recommended by me. I got one, I love it.

[polobunny]

Wow very nice upgrade. I'm jealous. :(
I can be the young brother of someone working at HP too, if anyone from HP is interested. :P

[Parker]

Lol guys. Thanks.

Ok, so right now... I'm debating on wether or not I should sell the striker mobo, and get the DFI one I wanted. The DFI one will only cost $140, and I can sell the striker for over $220, then I'd have money to buy watercooling parts and such....
What do you guys think?

[JazzyJake]

looking at those parts makes me wana upgrade....
tradsies anyone?
my rig + clean pee for new parts?

Sell the striker and the 2900 right now, (before they are obsolete,) and get the 8800gt and DFI mobo, you'll get the parts you wanted initially, and it will come out to a similar cost, eh?
