So I just ordered this pc from newegg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883109018

I have been planning on building my own dream pc for a while now, but this was $300 and I figured I was looking at $1200 if I went all out. Figure this will have to do for a while.

So I upgraded the ram to the max 4gb, and am going to order a new power supply and vid card. But I cant decide on what video card to get.

This pc has pci-e x16 slot, but I read that pci-e 2.0 cards can be used as well. I was thinking of going with a geforce 8800, or 9800 maybe one ofe these.
