I'm still using a s939 4800+ @stock speed...seems to be fine for gaming paired with an 8800gts 640 assuming you don't exceed 1280x1024 or 1440x900 and 4xAA...not counting Cry/War(no AA).

Get something better than my old 640mb and you'll be fine until a total rebuild. Hopefully you don't have a giant monitor and need 16x10 though.

Edit: I see you do have a 22" ws.

What kind of PSU do I need for the GTX260? Also, what kind of plug ins do I need for the card? I am about to order it but I want to know that my PSU can handle it. :/

Bears don't have power supplies.

Probably you need 1 6-pin pci-e connector, and like a 600W PSU. Which one are you getting, and why the flying **** are you asking for tech advice in the testing forum.

You're right, you will need TWO PCI-E connectors for a gtx 260. But most PSU's come with 2 anyway. Also you want at least a 550W PSU.
