HCL on the wiki says everything checks out, minus the graphics and sounds which need patches. can anyone recommend a better graphics card that's cheaper? also-- will a 250W PSU thats included be ok for my build? im a little concerned. UPDATE: suggestions noted, thanks for the input! so far, ive knocked 50 dollars off the price.

Synaesthesia Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 250W is fine, your system will consume less than that. Good setup. Apparently the Ati 3650 is working, there are some 512mb DDR3 3650 cards on newegg for $80-90 which are probably faster than the 8600GTS 256mb.
