Ok, so I got the video card issue worked out I think. Got an ATi HD 5870 on it's way to me (good deal on the card) but now the issue is that I will need a new PSU to make it go (they suggest 500w with 2 75w 6 pin power connectors to run this.
Given my old ass rig, it's probably time to update anyway.
So here's what I've got:

that motherboard with an E8400 chip. 4 gigs of RAM, the new video card, an Audigy Platnium and 1 hard drive and some fans. Also, standard shit like a DVD burner and a floppy drive.
What PSU should I get that is A.) adequate and B.) relatively inexpensive (think $50 or less)
Show some love, and I might be able to get back to playing some sort of games again.

none of this matters.. Albert Pujols just signed with the LA Angels... we (St. Louis fans) are currently in mourning!

Save some dough and start from scratch. RAM is cheap, you have a Video card. All your looking at is a Mobo and CPU and you can get a lot of CPU for a little money.

that seems to be where it's headed. Windows on the desktop decided to pretend that it couldn't do any network stuff, so I wiped it out, only to find out that the CD burner on the thing doesn't work and it keeps fucking up installing windows off a USB drive. So yeah, it's looking like a new computer is in the offing.

So the recommendation for the video card wanting a pair of power connections isn't that important? I told you I was in mourning! Sorry, didn't see the Vid Card specs you provided... good thing you caught my mistake though..
