Is your MB PCI-E 2.0 compliant?

The ASUS card you showed was not so I am not sure if you can handle a 2.0 in your current setup, unless I read it wrong.

XFX is a good video card manufacturer along with BFG Tech. I would see what they have to offer in the non 2.0 cards.

Never heard of that memory brand before....I would try to stick to crucial, corsair, mushkin, and kingston. Though I have heard a few good things about g.skill and ocz but I have never tried them so I can't really comment.

Stryker

a few questions

im running XP 64-bit is there any problems?
and i have a heat problems already do u think they would get worse with either of those cards?

You might look into getting some good case fans to get some fresh air into your case. My 8800GT idles at 45c and gets up to 60c when gaming. And that is with the video card fan at 100%





Motherboard does not have to be pci-e 2.0 to use that card... My board is pci-e 1.0 and my 8800GT works flawlessly.. They are backwards compatible .. If he has a pci-e slot the card will work.

G Skill is known to many over clockers as some of the best memory you can buy.. Like I said the set I have is running at 1000mhz. With 24 hours of memtest.
