C curtcheese64 In Runtime Messages 430 Mar 15, 2006 #3 Tipsy is selling a 7800gt on the buy/sell forum for $210, or you could pick up a 6800gs on newegg for around $160.

TheOtis Daemon Poster Messages 1,275 Location Planet Earth. Mar 15, 2006 #4 It's really depressing to see a 7800GT for 210 when I bought mine for 400. But then again that was way back in sept.

OP OP T Triple-X In Runtime Messages 147 Mar 15, 2006 #5 Is a 350watt psu enough to power the 7800GT?
Law Fully Optimized Messages 4,200 Location the data closet Mar 15, 2006 #6 Not really, it would work but don't be cheap when it comes to your power supply. I suggest 500W and modular cables so you can only use the wires you need. Makes for a clean and professional looking system.
