As i mentioned earlier in the thread, never skimp on the PSU. People sometimes overlook them thinking they arnt important...very big mistake.

On a side note, last night i bought a 22" LCD widescreen for my new PC. looks so sweet

Well chambalam Its a good computer for $1200

To put it bluntly the graphics card is sh!te, but you probably know that. Most games can be set to medium settings at best. The rest of your comp gets the job done. If you decide to change the graphics card in the future you will also need to the change the PSU.

Well if you're not using it for games then thats a pretty decent rig. The GFX card will do the job for you in that case..so should the PSU.
