thats not a mid range computer, thats a very good one.. while your at it, you might aswell get the radeon x800..

i was thinking about the X800 but its atleast double the price and i'll think i'll wait on the new generation of cards that will come out

Yah thats a nice HIGh end computer right their. The only thing i would change is the maxtor hard drive. Get a western digital raptor for that machine. That way everything is good.

x800 is only $400 you might want to get a bigger psu...

500 watt isnt enough??

 

[mrzeeedler]

the 500 is like 6x more then what you will ever need.

I have a similar setup (see sig system 1)

I have the same case too, with the 350watt PSU and it worked great but just to be sure i picked up and Antec 480watt.

I have...

1 HDD
1 CD-rom
9800xt
64 3200+
4 80mm fans
1 120mm fan
1 HD cooler
1 GPU cooler
1 CPU cooler
and 1 PCI sound card

and the 350 did fine with that, so it should be alright for you unless you add like 2 HDDs and 2 CD drives or something

BTW all the fans minus CPU and GPU have LED's in them so that takes some extra power
