Sorry for the late response. I found out that mine is a 250 watt power supply so I'm gonna upgrade that to a 400 probably. And my CPU is 4X AGP, while the X1650 Pro AGP supports 4X and 8X AGP. Does this mean that my computer can't use this video card to its fullest potential?

Also, since I'm upgrading my power supply to a 400 watt, should I get a better video card or just stick with the one I'm looking at?

Yes, the performance of the x1650 pro will not be as good as if it were running at 8X

Work means something different than "playing on high settings at 1600 x 1200"

Most PSU's are internal and they fit in a slot in the case. And as for the cases, Antec and NZXT both make good cases, but Antec cases are more expensive.

generic gateway case thank you very much.LiquidRelapse

I used to think that the Gateway FX cases had lights too. Don't you think that would be awesome, if instead of just color, the FX's had lights...

Like a famous GS'er says "the PSU is a heart of your system" It supplies power to all your components. You want High wattage, with high amperage on the 12V rails. High efficiencies and an Active PFC are good as well.

They are probably on sale. I think leetpwnage was pickin' his prices from Newegg, which is like the "industry standard" for buying computer parts online.
