Oh, and make sure your power supply is powerful enough. It's 500W so it should be, but check the amps and that it has enough power cables just to be sure. Sucks to buy a card and then notice that your PSU needs an upgrade too Tongue

500w is not enough for a Phenom, two modern video cards & everything else he has attached. Your PC will start getting flaky within a year if you go this route.
