best gaming video card?

i have no idea and im not really sure how to find out either. whatever came with the computer. its from HP. i'm fairly uninformed when it comes to computer tech.lonewolf_kai

You can also give HP a call and ask them about your power supply.

is there a particular type i need to run the card?lonewolf_kai

i just looked it up (duh! /slaps my forehead) its 400 watts, 26 amps minimum. i've never replaced a power supply unit in a computer before so i may be up the proverbial creek

If the TC has tight budget then he should atleast go for this.

And since when was a Q6700,4GB RAM and 8800GTS not demanding?:?

definately dont want a noisey psu, my current one is very quiet. too bad its only 350 watts.lonewolf_kai

are most psu's generally standard when it comes to fitting inside the tower? i'd hate to buy it and then it turn out not being able to fit. also, are there any type of requirements i need to keep an eye on?
