Linkifying, i'll check in a second. comp and card

EDIT: Yeah, you're set...but I dont recommend that card. It's an 8800 GTS 320, and that thing is more outdated than the 8800 GTs. Alright I just had a look, and Newegg seems to be in some weirdass state where they dont have any 8800 GTs...hmm weird. Maybe they''re phasing them out?

You may want a stronger power supply... maybe. 300 Watts isn't very much.

I have a friend with a similar pc who upgraded to an 8800gt. He absolutely needed a new power supply. Does your power supply even have the 6pin power connector that the 8800 needs? 300watts is really not enough for that kind of card.

Also, if you want to spend around $100 newegg has a 9800gt with FarCry2 for $100 (with mail in rebate)

This is a good psu for $35 after mail in rebate
