500 watt is fine.

I forgot to look at the processor, I thought he went with an i7.  I suck roosters. So I was thinking "Why not get an even better graphics card?"
Btw, should I get a 250, or 9800?

The GTX+ is some wierd beefed up version of the 9800GT.

But if you were considering the GTX+, the 250 is more efficient and slightly smaller.

You could always go with two GTX280s in SLI, like me.

What parts do you reccomend for a $400 computer?

[Osak]

I had the parts, it equaled $451 total. Anyone willing to go under that?

[General Nick]

If you're going for $400 you should hope to just upgrade the insides, not stuff like hard drive, cd-rom, etc.

Hard drives and disc drives are usually inside of the computer...

If not, what parts do you want to suggest for a new PC? All of the parts for it must be at least $400 to $600 dollars and can at least run at medium quality for the latest games.

DO NOT GET ANY NIVIDIA CARD UNDER 6200!
