I have the standard 300W that came with the Antec SX1030 case. I'll see how it goes and trade up if need be. With the RAM and videocard on the way it sounds like I'm in good shape. Maybe I can finally get back to doing a little more gaming now! :) :)

enough power??

Yea, I got the AGP version (for $100 even; I'm pretty excited). It should be here in the next 2 days or so (I hope), so I'm just gonna try it out and see what happens. If things get really crazy (or don't work at all), it looks like I could pick up a 400W from FS/T for around $30-40. Any...

Well, I ended up getting a BFG 6800GT (factory OC) from the FS/T forum for $100 even. I mean, I think that's a pretty good deal, right? I'm thinking I'll probably have to up the PSU like mancunian mentioned. I've heard the 6600 and up are a little power hungry. Thanks for all the great info...

If it's not enough, what range should I be looking at? 400? 500?

Right, I figured as much. Really, I'm just looking for someone to tell me that the 6600 isn't awful and won't suck (honestly, I don't technically even have a card right now, so things can't get WORSE)

I saw the X1600. I'm guessing something like this isn't exactly recommended? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143038 I know it's just a 350 core, but, look at what I'm working with

Video card problems and general upgrades

Wow...yea, I guess that goes to show how long I've been totally out of it. I hadn't even stopped to consider the whole AGP/PCI issue. Well, thanks for the advice. I think it's time for a new approach to this problem. A full overhaul like PurdueRy suggested might be the only way to go

Hey- So back in 2002 I built this rig (with LOTS of help from the AnandTech Forums), and haven't done much since then. The basics go like this: AMD Athlon XP 2100+ (1730MHz) Chaintech Apogee 7VJL mobo 512 MB Corsair PC2700 DDR Gainward 650XP Nvidia Geforce 4 TI4200...

PSU leads (and smoke?)

Antec SL300s (300 W) came with the case. Tried unplugging everything, even case fans. No change. Reseated the RAM in a different slot, something I didn't think of before. Didn't change anything. At what point does one throw everything into the dumpster and buy a brand new Alienware Aurora ALX...
