Well i run at 1680x1050 native resolution using a 7600GT. No problems playing non-demanding games such as half life 2, ep 1 ep2, deathmatch and cs:s at max settings (without any Anti-Aliasing; doesnt like it for some reason) but dont know otherwise. Played Lord of the rings online at that...

EDIT - Its a 500W Q-TEC one. Never heard of them before so im assuming their are poor. (as in quality)
