Will I be able to play a lot of games with this setup???

HI, i wanted to make a inexpensive up grade to my computer so i can play more games (I can't even play Mercs 2!)

Here's my hardware (the one's in bold is what i'm planning to get)

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz

Nvidea Geforce 8500GT (planning to get BFG Geforce GTS 250 OC 1024mb)

Some powersupply @ 300W (buying an 800W power supply off a friend)

4G of Ram

I agree, i have a 9800gtx+ which is the same as a gts250 and it is able to play all current games at max graphics(aside from crysis of course). And yes, an 800 watt is quite overkill but ya if you can get it cheaper go for it. The processer and ram are fine so you should be good.

Make sure it's a decent brand powersupply.

u dont need 800w... 450w would be enough

I only might get the 800W power supply because a friend of mine who have an insane gaming rig wants to get a better PSU, so he was going to sell me his for cheap :D

Also, How do you know if a powersupply will work with your system?
