Finally want to build a gaming system (digging Team Fortress 2 a lot) finally after having a Dell/geforce 6800gto machine for 3 years. This seemed like a good deal ($165 @ NE). Price ended up being a factor, didn't want to go 200 or more at all. Anyone have experience with this card? Was it an OK purchase or was I dumb to not go with a newer line? Corsair vx500w ok for it?

its gonna run hotter, use more power, than say the 3800 series, but for the price, its a pretty good deal.

That PSU should be fine with i also.
 
I grabbed one as well. The percentage of buyers who got their 2900Pro's to go to XT speeds is ridiculously high, so figured I'd buy one to tinker with. I think your power supply will be fine to run the card stock, but when you start OC'ing that bad boy, it will suck down some wattage.
