well if your going to upgrade anything, it'd be that first, no 6pin no 8pin connectors, low railing on triple. For Light gaming your 8600gt is fine.

Like i said my friend runs an 8600 and he runs just fine on games like lineage 2/cod4/bf2.

Well seeing as I'm NEVER gonna get a graphics card that will require a 6pin/8pin connector and that it provides 400W on the 12V rail I don't think I'll bother.

And if the 8600GT is fine for light gaming then so be it. Won't need to upgrade then.

Thanks for everyone's help
