please someone just real quick tell me if the drivers work

 

[Proximon]

Yes, but I have a few complaints
The power supply is junk, and the video card is old and sucks a lot of power. The G.Skill RAM is good, but you should use 1066 to get the most out of the CPU.


These are the changes I would make, and I am listing them in order of priority:

1. BFG LS-450

2. Sapphire 4850 - Not only is it faster, it pulls less power and costs less.

3. OCZ 4GB 1066 RAM

There. With the price break on the card, I don't think I have cost you too much.

Isn't that power supply a little low for my system and do you know of any Nvida video cards that are better?

Take the Nvidia GTS 250

The psu you selected can deliver 23 amps on the 12v rails, not enough for the 8800GTS, despite the advertised 500 watts.
The BFG 450 psu proximon suggested is actually better, with 29amps.

The corsair VX450 would be even better at 33amps:

I like the GTS250 suggestion. It is a bit faster, and uses newer 55nm technology. For gaming, get the best vga card you can afford, and don't skimp on psu quality.

Ok i changed my psu and video card listed below. Yet im having second thoughts about motherboard any suggestion have limited time so time is of the essence. I don't think my budget can afford the 250 gts

The psu geofelt you have listed is that better than the rosewill one? didn't include in first post sorry.

Rosewill is considered a tier 5 psu on this(somewhat dated) list:

Here is another good unit, PC P&C silencer 500:

[alexgreat]

ok i switched to one recommend by you and i saved money. Now what about motherboard and video card and that tier 5 list is long need to bookmark that thanks

 

[mcnuggetofdeath]

the 8800gts, GTS250, and 9800GTX+ are all based on the same G92 architecture. Its dated, doesnt scale well at high res or high AA. Id say you ought to either spring for a GTX260 core 216 if your big into Nvidia, or grab a 4770 ( if you can find one ) its only 5% slower than a 4850 but pulls only 80w max versus a stock 4850 pulling appx 200w under load.
