I was looking at the newegg prices and i looked at 4 Video Cards that i would consider all i got is a 7600 Gt and i also need a Power supply , now wich of these will be better to play at least 2007/2008 games above 30 Fps at a resolution of 1440x900 with some AA and high quality gaming

I just dont want to pay more that i need to because i have to now buy some $60 PW supply because of it . There are so many choices and mostly bad ones i remember just buy a 450W $15 power supply and it would last for years lol

Forget the EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320 because it's the older 'G80' GPU, any of the other three and a Corsair 620HX PSU.

The faster GeForce 8800GTS cards are typically designated as "(G92)" and has 512MB. Priced at about $240.

The "older and slower" GTS have either 320MB or 640MB of RAM. They are currently priced at less than $200. A 8800GT would be better.

It would be nice if you told us the specs of your system?

If you look around, the G92 8800GTS512 has gone as low as $207 after mir, and thats a much better choice for heat, resolution, and fps

Thanks for the advice , its that i looked at the toms chart and the difference between the 8800 gts g80 and the 8800 gt was 10 fps or some thing and in price its like $60 and the 9600 gt is close to the 8800 gt and u know i'm cheap and sucker for low prices thats why i decided to ask someone who knows ,anyway my specs are :

E2200 2.2 GHZ
Gigabyte P35 DS3L
4x512 MB DDR2 800 Wintec Ampx
Evga 7600 GT 256 mb GDDR3 PCI-E
Dinamax 450W PW
FPD1976W 19" LCD Gateway monitor

as far as power supply's go, 60 dollars is cheap. and also, it will BE cheap. for a good quality power supply count on paying over 100.00. the chances of the lower quality ones failing over time is quite high

Ignore the 320Mb 8800GTS and go with the 8800GT; it's more powerful than the 9600GT.

There is no reason to need to spend $100 on a Good Power Supply.

Here is a great PSU for $60 w/Free Shipping.

They're cheap PSU's for a reason
If you could get away with buying a cheap n nasty PSU for high quality components then we'd all be doing it wouldnt we?

Well that $60 is certified somehow and its not over $100 , so it looks like a good choice .

I think ill be ordering that PSU and the msi 9600 GT , thats $274.08 shipped , thanks for all your help

The Earthwatts 500W is excelent for $60 shipped. With 34 amps ont he 12v, it will power just about any single card with possible exception of the 2900XT?

If you want to stay cheap, you can get a 8800GS for $110 AR and an Earthwatts 380W for $30AR. That is $140 shipped after two rebates, for a card faster than any GF79xx, and a Seasonic made PSU to power it. You can't beat that combo for the price.

BTW, an 8800GS is very close to 9600GT performance, so you are getting alot for $110.

For $5 more you could go with this PSU over the nice and solid Antec 500w PSU. It has 41A (34A on Antec) and comes with a 5 yr. warranty.
$85 - $20 MIR = $65!
Corsair VX 550W ATX Power Supply - CMPSU-550VX

I'd go with the 9600gt or 3870 GPU, whichever one you like, the 3870 will be better on most everything, but would probably be a bit more $ too.

Highly recommend the VX550W. It powers my system like a champ. Although it can spool up pretty quickly during hardcore gaming but I think my components draws for power than yours.
