So I have the 8800, And I think I did something wrong here.

So I'm just wondering...What parts would I specifically have to upgrade if I got a 8800 card. Like what I mean is I need a power supply of 400watts min, anything else?

it all depends...what are your current specs? all you should need for an 8800 is a psu that is 400W or greater...but also if you dont havea great processor and board you could possibly bottleneck the card and it wont perform to its max. If you have that stuff though, youll be fine.
