I too had a sapphire 9800NP that i overclocked to pro levels, it was a tank of a card. Ran verything at the time just awesome.

if you live near a microcenter it would be worth it to ebay the cpu and get a 3570 IMO. you can bet a 3570K and a motherboard for about 280.00 tax included. if you can reuse the memory on your old board that would be a win

plus the EVGA overclocks very well on average, you do need a decent P/S >650watts to do it however

bought an EVGA GTX 480 from newegg for 209.00 and have it overclocked to GTX 580 levels.... Metro2033 is just fine at max settings at 1080P

newegg has the GTX 480 for 209.00, pretty good for the price

i loved my celeron 300a, had it in a Abit BH6 at 450mhz :)

got the 3570K for 189.00 and a Asrock Z77 pro4 motherboard for 69.00 as a combo deal from microcenter in Denver. hell of an upgrade for 260.00 plus tax

probably wont be a chip

i bought the i5-3570K for 189.00 at microcenter it has been a good value so far

had to go with 16gb of DDR3 from newegg during black Friday, it was only 59.00

went from a q9550 at 3.6ghz to a i5-3570K mainly for sata3 and other stuff with z77 motherboards. I do not notice that huge of a difference as i have a fast SSD in my system. I am rocking an EVGA GTX 480 at 825mhz so I have plenty of GPU power for games, it gave me a huge boost from my GTX 460...

lol... i remember having smoke rise from a Matrox Mystique a long long time ago... not a good feeling..it still worked though

i like the look of the MSI as well

you should be fine, 650watts is enough for most systems, GPU's and CPU's are more power efficient then they used to be

i think Seasonic builds some of the corsair power supplys?
