With those specs you are going to want to somehow test or at lest find a test of that power supply. Its getting to the point where the newer graphics card are more power hungry than the CPU's. I had bought a dual rail PSU from Ultra that was 500Watts, and the thing was dead within a couple weeks because it was constantly pulling too much amperage. So just a healthy reminder I suggest seeking a better PSU with some more wattage. Your 450 might handle it OK for a while.... but a failure will always be on the horizon. My setup has 2 PSU running everything. The Enermax runs the MB, CPU, CDRom, Floppy, HD, and 1 of my GPU's. The 2nd power supply runs the rest. Just want to warn you to make sure of the amperage ratings and the loads you are going to put on them. I would hate to see you so happy with your awesome new toy and a couple 2 or three weeks later be disappointed from a fried PSU. Kinda ruins the day.....I know it did for mine . Anyway specs look pretty good lemme know if any furthur info is needed. C Ya on the battlefield

Man, that looks sweet. I wish I could afford one 7800 . I have a 6600GT though, which I like.

I have a 6600 GT too and I wish I had a better video card. Not that I'm exactly unhappy with it's performance. I think it's good for middle of the road and I think I'm getting my money's worth out of it. I want to upgrade though. 1280x1024 is what I run BF2 at.
