I looked it up, and they are charging quite a lot for it. They add $150 to the proce of the computer for that card which is not very good for you. I know for a fact that the 8800GT is better and costs about the same. I can look up some benchmarks for you if you want.
EDIT: BTW, how much are you spending on that PC in total? A budget would help here.

if your buying a prebuilt computer, your going to most likely have to both the video card and power supply (depending on what card you get).
i have no sig.

Thx

Why not build one yourself? Then it can be totally customized to how you want it.

Agreed, you will get a much better result. Prebuilt PCs that can game and don't cost a small fortune are a rare breed.

thanks for the list and the offers but, I dont need anything extreme to be my graphics card I just want to casual game. Just for the record can the 9800gt play elder scrolls oblivion at full speed? if so what about crysis? (I doubt it can run that game full speed though)...

Outdoor Oblivion on 1920x1200 maxed out with no AA and 8x AF it should run it around 30FPS depending on CPU you get. That's with a 3 GHZ core 2 duo.
Crysis it will NOT run maxed out.
Just as a comparison a 4850 would be around 1.8 times faster.

what do you mean full speed? if you want to run crysis on high, then your going to have to get ATLEAST a HD4850.
or you can get a cheaper card, but you'll have to tone down the resolution and quality.

Ok so your Q9300 is running a bit slower. I'm not sure how CPU bound oblivion is. Still you're going to get less FPS.
Also FPS goes up the faster your computer is. There is no practical limit. Most people think more than 60FPS looks best.

Depends what resolution you play at - if you only use 1280x1024, a card like the 8800GT can easily max almost any game except for Crysis, which you could run at mostly high detail, perhaps medium shadows and/or shaders.
If you use a high resolution like 1920x1200 though, you need at least an HD4850 to max out current games.
For strategy games, 25fps and above is fine, for Crysis, around 25-30 is where it starts looking smooth. For faster FPS games or multiplayers, FEAR Combat, Unreal Tournament, Quake 4 etc., you really want 50 plus.

Yeah you will be fine at that resolution.
The computer is alright. The memory is kinda slow, and you wont be upgrading anything on it with that PSU. But it will work for your purposes.

Indeed, the PSU means you won't be able to upgrade anything until you replace it, but for now at least you should be able to run everything at that resolution, Crysis included.
1280x960 though.... ugh
