I want to get a new video card, so I picked out this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814143046
also, would I need to get a new power supply for this card?

Now, should I spend the 200 or so on this or save up for a 360?

Spend $179 on a 8600 Ultra when it comes out in 2 weeks.

depends how much you like consoles (i for example dont like console gaming at all) and how good (=fun) the rest of your set up is. IMO playing xbox on some 12 inch TV with mono sound is not worth it. also what gfx card do you have now? upgrading from a fx5200 might make sense, going from a 6800 is not so price effective. how should i know if you need a new psu if you dont post up your specs.

Xbox 360 would be the best.

Can't see a point to the 360 TBH, just get the same games on the PC (usually play better too, emus FTW).

It's settled the 7800 it is. I have about 130 now, but i get paid tommarow! Question: will I need a new power supply? cause I have a GForce5600 FX right now, but im not sure what psu.

Saving up for a new rig would take me like a year and a half seeing as I get paid $6.75 an hour and only get somewhere from 3-7 hours a week.
