Alright then thanks for telling me all that and yes some of it did confuse me, but I get what you mean.
I'll just get the 5570 then :) and i must upgrade my power supply, seeing as mine is 300watts. I need more RAM too, 1GB isn't enoughhopefully will get it up to 4GB soon
Running 7, yeah 2 bare minimum, 4 much better, I run 6 with 64-bit version.
PSU wise, I'd go 500-600W so you can salvage it to next PC you buy possibly.
Thermaltake and Antec are good names that probably have something in your price range at those Watts.
If you are upgrading that PSU then I might try a better video card, 5570 is pretty bland, that 2nd 5 is the indicator that it sucks to be blunt.
Plus the new PSU has the 6 pin connector you need for a higher card.... it's just now the thickness of the case that may come into play, I have an expensive Mid Tower, even so my 5850 was really a tight squeeze.
Here's a video card example:
Newegg.com - VisionTek 900287 Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
That would make mincemeat of a 5570 is all tests, 256 interface! and 8 for 2nd digit rule in effect.
Price is higher, but you really get what you pay for and worth it if you wanna game juicy.
I'd try a local store that lets you return stuff, since size matters here, possibly. :)
It's worth the extra insurance policy payment and helping local economy.
See this review on the 5570 says the 3650 is a better card in the conclusion.

Ok so the latest power supplies required a video card with a 6 pin connector? I'll probably buy that then, as it is faster, but I don't get why, i mean wouldn't a 5000 series be better than one from a 4000 series?Running 7, yeah 2 bare minimum, 4 much better, I run 6 with 64-bit version.

Basically get a rig that will play Diablo 3 at release, FTW!
Which is rumored to be not too needy, of course being in development for 4 years I am guessing is a factor.
So many bottlenecks, GPU chipset on your motherboard is another... it's one of mine, but I'm still OK here.
A very good PC for gaming, if I built it from scratch would go $1200+ easily, these $600 McPCs you see in stores have subpar motherboards, every single one of them, they have to...
Saroy, perhaps this will help once you get your card

Got another question. I was looking through power supplies and I noticed it saying this on the product: Motherboards 20Pin + 4Pin
what does this mean?
They're talking about the ATX Power. Some boards (older) only use 20 pins; most boards now use 24. They're just saying that they can accommodate both.

Again referring to your board. The ATX power (listed as ATXPWR in your manual) is the white connector just to the right of your dimm slots (memory slots)... just to the left of the black and blue IDE connectors.
