    is this a separate build from your other thread or what? if not then why another thread? is this a gaming build or what are you planning on doing with the pc?

    It all looks like it will be compatible but if your budget allows it and are looking at doing any gaming I'd go with a better GPU.

    Rough economy, budget cuts

    I need ~$200 for accessories (monitor, speakers, mouse+board), so I had to cut about $200 out of the old one. Sorry for the confusion, I know it can be annoying to have lots of repetitive posts.
    To answer your question, just something to play FO3 on in medium-full settings. To be honest, that's it! And also a little memory upgrade.

    Well considering I've got a nice cpu behind it and 4 gig's RAM, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be just fine. Lots of YouTube videos using this gpu, and everything works just great. I'm not an enthusiast...
