Goomba

Alright, this thread pertains to more than the video card itself, but other things necessary aswell, since I did not know where to post it.

Anyway, is there anyway that I can get:

eVGA GeForce 8600GT 512 MB

Gig of ram

New PSU that supports the Video Card

Motherboard that will work out for it

for $340 or under? I'm just asking if it's possible. Just flat out tell me NO if it isn't.

I just finished putting this together for someone else,

512mb of ram is really not needed on a video card that is only 128bit, the extra ram is really just wasted and not used effectively

This was the cheapest 8600Gt I could find ( after rebate )

So I came in at $356 with the 8600GT
$323 with the 8500GT

If you want to go with 1G of ram instead of 2 then you can save another $24

that will bring prices down to $299 with the 8500Gt and $332 with the 8600GT
