My first build
I just put together my first computer!! And aside from having to get another mobo (I't came doa) it's up and running now. But my video card, a Evga 6800GS, didn't come with the power hook-ups. It will let me load up WIN XP but it has a message that says the graphic card is turnned down to keep it from messing up. The guys at evga are sending me the power cable, but I just want to know is this card any good or should I get another one? I was also thinking about getting a second card to go SLI, but if the gains aren't enough there wouldn't be a point. Also my Aquamark score is like 13,000, but everyone with the same set up as me has way bigger numbers. If someone could help with my understanding then I can upgrade, all my stuff is on a 30 day no questions asked return policy.

could well be due to the power issues,but is thats running high res and settings? if it is i'd advise just to play around with the setting in cod2 till its playable (maybe no so eye pleasing as it could be)and just wait to overclock the card when the cable comes,and if thats not enough maybe run sli or sell it and go for 7800gt (little on the expensive side right now though)

as for the cpu personal i think it is a good option (im building a rig with the same ) and it can easliy held the agmes of day and should last a year or so
