well i am DIFF gonna get a ATI All In Wonder 1800 not about money i wont that bad ! i jsut wanna know if my processor can run with that and can it play good games ??

yes those 2 should go well together. just make sure your motherboard is compatible with it (pci-express) and that your power supply is good enough. for value i think you could spend your money differently, but you'll get good performance nonetheless.

Open up your case and look on the side of your PSU. Should tell you the wattage.

you've got the sr1650nx.. i had that, selling it soon, its a 350 watt psu, i called the company and checked it myself... its maximum output is only 320 watts though. I dunno if you wanna risk that beefy graphics card on that system, i felt bad just running my 6800 gs on my compaq..... i'd get at least 450 w dual 12v rails.... hrmmmm cpu's don't do too much in games right now, but that 3500+ will own games... my opteron 146 is at 2.6 ghz and i barely noticed a difference in games from my 3500+ in my compaq.. maybe 5 fps different, not too much

edit: don't just look at power rating. you also have to look at Amps on the rails, and the 12V rail is the one you're most interested in.

this is a good value power supply

Any reason you're getting the all in wonder card? It's probably better to get a TV tuner card on top of a regular video card. You pay less for the video card, and when you upgrade, you still have a tuner card.
