I have the following:
GA-EP45-UD3R
Q6600 G0 stock clock stock HSF
2 GB Corsair DDR2 800
One optical DVD+RW
3x SATA HDDs
3x 120mm fans
Corsair 650tx

Am looking at installing a GTX 260 216, will my PSU handle this or should I look to upgrade PSU before getting the card? I game at 1680x1050 on a 22" and currently use an 8800GTS 640. Or would I be better suited with a different card? Dont want to spend much more than $250
 
Your PSU is a good one, and can can handle any video card currently on the market, including the 4870X2 or GTX 295.

The GTX260 216 is perfect for 1680x1050 work, and will be a substantial upgrade to your 8800GTS 640MB - maybe double the performance. Faster cards would be overkill for 1680x1050.
 
thanks guys...I owe the majority of my pc buying decisions to the lurkers and posters of here. I bought the 650 because I normally run almost twice as many fans and 2-3 more hard drives. Also was looking at overclocking again, but I think I am done for the most part with overclocking.

incase your wondering, I am running in an old Enlight case. I just moved to korea and couldnt get my Antec case to me yet. Thats why I am not running as many hard drives or fans.

Again, thanks guys.
