      well eagle, I usually look at canadian prices on ncix.com and tigerdirect.ca. I'm glad to see newegg will ship to canada because I always read good things about their service and their prices are usually good. They also have some good deals.

      and yes, that ATX PSU would be good. you see, I have an inspiron 531 and I asked on the dell forums and they said I can replace the PSU aslong as it's ATX. I think 550w is enough. I dont have quad core, sli, or anything like that so...

          yeah thanks for the help! :) regardless of what I get, it'll still be an improvment over what I have right now. I don't play at resolutions higher than 1280x1024 so even the worst card out of those 3 would be great for me.

          btw eagle, what's your "mini ATX project"?

                      Yes, because I know they're usually like $250. I still have my 8600 and I don't know if it will sell at the price I'm hoping to get. Even if it sold at what I wanted and bought that 8800GT, I'd only have $10 for a psu :p
