    I found a way to counter this by buying the case, psu, and MoBo at the same time, but I am having problems finding out what Ram am I using.

    Thanks for the help.

    EDIT: Seems like the best case to upgrade with is the Antec NineHundred Two.
    It's just not going to work. You HAVE to get a new motherboard. That old AMD dual core won't do you shit, and will bottleneck the hell out of the GTX 260. Don't bother with the Antec NineHundred Two, it's not worth it.

    -Case,PSU,20pin to mini24pin
    -MoBo,Ram
    -CPU,GPU

    Sounds good? If so which parts do you recommend.

    Hey! I have a contact at The Source here in town that gets power supplies in bulk (450W dual-fans, 500W single-fan, and 550W single-fan setups). He's selling the 450W and 500W supplies for $40CAN, and the 550W for $45CAN. Any specs I should look up on the box to make sure they're actually worth buying, like the capacity of the rails, and all that? Sorry, can't remember the brand name off hand.

    Look at how amps there are on the combined 12V rail(s), some PSU have more than 1.

    What are you planning to get? And why are you getting that 20pin to mini24pin adapter? I don't see the use for it.

    Just a lot better parts that will last a while until it's time to upgrade again. I'm getting that adapter so I don't have to buy everything at once.

    Sounds good. What's a reasonable amperage?

    15 or better. Preferably, you want something in the neighborhood of 18-26.

    What's the best GPU a Pentium 4 3.0 CPU can handle? What would be the best PSU wattage for that card?
