also came with a 17 inch lcd, but that really doesnt justify the price. i think that i am just going to buy a 6800gs and wait till the g8 series comes out and totally overhual my system. i can't remember if anyone answered this, but do i need to buy a dell psu or can i buy an antec one off of newegg. becuase i don't know if dell makes their cases special to fit only their psu.
Oh Dell

You have a 375W PSU.
Your mobo is a socket T, with an Intel 945P Northbridge.
If you wanted to replace it with almost the same one (sans the Dell-ness), it would be one of these two:

Dell's tech support specifications don't list which southbridge your mobo has.

On the bright side Dell is known for underrating their powersupplies. I only have the regular 6800, but I don't imagine that its too much different as far as power consumption. However, my computer has a lot of cards/drives/extra fans, etc and I have never had a problem with power. I suggest testing it with your current power supply and seeing how it goes.
so, do you think i can buy the 6800gs now, then overhual everything when the g8 series comes out?
or will the 6600gt be a good bang for my buck. like as in, how much performance increase will i see over my ati x600 256 mb card. can i play most new games on atleast mid settings with some AA or soft shadows.
