Thanks for the info, I guess I'll be going with my other choice. the Thermaltake Toughpower 750w. I have read nothing but good things about this power supply!

Does anyone know anything about this power supply(CoolMax 700 watt CUG-700B), I know the specs, I need to know about quality of it. Will it last or is this company known for inferior products? Thanks!

While the 8800 gts is tempting, even at the lowest price I've seen it at($400), it's still out of my price range for now.

I found a new version of the 7950 gt which has only 256mb instead of the usual 512mb, after rebate only $200.00 bucks. Any thoughts on this? Also, I believe I'm going to build my system instead of buying it. Here's a link to this card...

Thanks, getting excited, I've just got to remember there will always be something better out there and the second I buy it, it will drop in price. lol

Possibly, though I heard the sapphires have some heat issues. Anyone hear anything similiar?

Will be using E6300 core 2 duo processor, buying what amounts to a barebone system. Using my monitor, dvd-drive, mouse and keyboard from my current system. It's gonna have an Intel D975xbx2 mobo(BadAxe2), 1 gig pc6400 memory, 700watt power supply(Planning ahead), and very probably a x1950 pro...

Great card, but if it dies after 15 days your out of luck!

I have been mulling over the X1950 PROs for a while now and they do tend to do better with Oblivion. I hate these kinds of decisions, lol! Thanks for the help, thx to everyone.

The games I play are Oblivion, Neverwinter Nights 2 and the like. I am looking at the $350 and under price range for a single card. In the future I'll add a second card(will be some time). Thanks!

I would like to play all games on their highest settings at 1024x768, what would be the best PCI-E videocard to do this. Keep in mind I have no desire to go higher than 1024x768(this is my monitor's max setting and I like it). Will eventually be going to a Sli or Crossfire configuration, but for...

Thanks for the response but my game is working now for some reason(knock on wood). I believe it was because I was changing in-game options. I use an ATI card as well, but thanks for the response, it is still appreciated!

"Oblivion will now detect your video hardware" keeps coming up for me everytime I start the game now, anyone know why? Once is usually sufficient, but something appears to have gone wrong.
