Completed new PC: results

[Phalanx01]

Okay, after dealing with the trouble that came with it, I can honestly tell that my PC is fully operational and I'd like to say thanks to the ppl that helped me out with my trouble, couldn't have fixed the PC without them.

System Specs:

MSI 875P Neo FIS2R
P4 3.0 Ghz HT 800FSB
2GB Apacer DDR 400 (4 x 512) You can never have enough mem.
250 GB Western Digital SATA
MSI Geforce FX 5900 256MB Ultra
Creative Audigy 2 Soundblaster
Aspire 6.1 Speakers from Creative
MSI DVD 16/48
MSI CDRW 52/32/52
SunbeamTech transparant case /with flashy lights
460 Watt PSU (soon to be a 520 Watt or whatever watt is highest and most silent...)
Hercules 17" screen with DVI
WinXP Home

However, what's that I hear about Nvidia cards having bad benchmarks with HL 2? I mean I just bought the bloody card; do I have to upgrade AGAIN?

Is it a bad thing if there is smoke coming out of my case?

great system, see if you can RMA the card. get a radeon 9800pro or above.

It's pretty discouraging to tell you this: But you just may need to go through even more trouble such as returning the card for a 9800PRO! :frown:
