Yeah, a 6150 is not going to run much of anything, it is weaker than a FX5200, which is known for being one of the most notoriously bad cards in the history of cards (advertised as a budget gaming card, but has trouble running 4 year old games).

Alright I was kind of worried that the GTS 250 was'nt going to fit, but I just measured and I can fit as long as 14 inches in there (the GTS 250 is only 9 inches). So I'm happy. And i'm going to buy it.

There's a combo deal where it comes with a 550W power supply.

Do you (cole) think I should get that or buy a different power supply seperately?

Yes, antec makes very reliable power supplies, I use them in all my low/mid range boxes, and OCZ for high end.

The best PSU out there is "pc power and cooling" they use massive single rail designs and always set the bar for the rest of the industry (and OCZ bought them last year).

I got the video card today. The power supply was a BITCH to install. It took me forever. It came with extra cables and shizznit. The video card was so thick that I had to unplug a cable on my motherboard connecting to my cd drive, so no cd's for me. Anyways, can't wait to try games out.

Ok so I tried playing CZ, and the video is still kinda messed up, kinda just like my 6150.

Heres a short little demo of what's going on.

EDIT: hmmm, somehow it was fixed after I restarted CZ. My max fps is 60 now though and before it was 100+ so idk.
