For games try not to get wireless stuff becuase with the mouse it will like lag and stuff I just hate it....make sure you get a good G-card, Memory, and mother board, also make sure you have a good cooling system..

anyone? I need to know cause I want to get a new graphics card, so I need to know if my power supply will be compatible with it, and I also want another gig of ram to go along side my 512. and need to know if tht will also be compatible.

Loel, although a school tech wouldn't think to chuck out a screen like that unless he was sure it didn't work :P

Sounds like a pretty decent PC you're getting there, PSU should be powerfull enough, not sure on the MSI motherboard, but its decent enough I guess..and try to get an AGP card as adem suggested.

I have a PCI radeon 9200se, and it's worthless, I can't get over 30fps.

lol, I had it for a while now. but because I had to swap the motherboard I had to replace it with a shitty one, so sum parts wont fit it, so until I get another motherboard I cant use to its full potential
