You need to change the width of the #wrap element in your styles.php file. It's currently set to 98%, if you want a fixed size set it to a fixed px value. Something around 960px will work on 95% of monitors.

cheers

#wrap {
min-width: 650px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #0D0D0D;
border-color: #800000;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 1px 1px;
margin: 0 auto 2px;
width: 98%;

so before i was changing just the top value . do i need to adjust min - width and the bottom width percentage one ?

No. Keep the 'min-width' as is and only change the 'width'.

If you use the above method, keep the width value as a relative %. Having two fixed values for width and min-width is a little pointless
