I am currently looking for one but all I can seem to find is AGP. I am upgrading from a Geforce 7600GS.

The 7800's came in two flavours - AGP and PCI-Express. Are you after a PCI version, or a PCI-Express version? No PCI versions exist, but there are plenty of PCI-Express cards (two of which are in my system :grin.

Sorry about that. I meant a PCI-Express card. I was also looking at this card which seems to fit my budget.

The 7900GS is an excellent card - it gives just slightly lower performance than the 7800GTX. It has the advantages of being cheaper and cooler than the 7800GTX. Very good choice of card.

By the way, the 7800 comes in the following PCI-E versions: 7800GT, 7800GTX, 7800GTX-512. I'd go for a 7900 instead though.

Thanks. I may have to upgrade my power supply but that shouldn't be a problem.

What power supply do you have at the moment? It's highly likely that you will have to upgrade. See "Power Supply Info" in my signature for more info and recommendations for high quality units.

It's a stock PSU. My case is a BTX. I'm not sure what the wattage is at the moment.

I hate to interrupt but as long as you guys are on the subject of 7900 GS's and PSU's check my sig. Card and PSU were $320 but I bought retail not online. I think I've seen the 7900 GS for $190 + shipping online. I've been pretty happy with it, although if you push it to its limits you will find a point where you can get it to skip and freeze frame especially at high screen resolutions with the graphics settings turned up. I bet Indoril Nerevar doesn't have that problem with TWO of the things though. :grin:
