Finished ordering comp - now what do i need

[millerhighlife_]

Yup, I believe that's the case. Hope you don't have dial-up.

does this mean i'll have to download few gigs worth of files off steam?

Yes, but do this. As soon as you get steam going, click to start playing source. This will bump up the priority of the download and have it put all the bandwidth available to source. You should have it within a few hrs on dsl/cable.

ah, that cleared it up, thx

i'm on 3mbps cable, so i guess it'll take few hours

oh well, at least it's better than being on 56k

A 6600GT can run on a decent 350watt PSU.

A 420watt thermaltake td-420AD will suffice
