Sorry - more video card advice please...

[GeezerButler]

Guys,

Thinking of upgrading my video card to a 8800GTS and wanted to check:

Will it fit into my case (Antec P150)? - checked the OcUK compatibility table in the cases area but this case not listed. Anyone tried?

Will I need a new PSU (Antec NeoPower 430W HE fitted at present)?

Will I get much real benefit from this over my existing Radeon X1800XT (I have a 1280 x 1024 panel)?

Will this card be bottlenecked by my CPU (Athlon 64 4000+ running at 3Ghz)?

Rest of Rig : DFI NF4 Ultra-D, 2GB GSkill, 1 x 74GB Raptor, 1 x 150GB Raptor, X-FI

Thanks for the help guys...any other alternative video card suggestions are welcome - not set on the 8800GTS.

I think the GTS is only the length of an ATX motherboard. So as long as HDs, etc don't overlap your motherboard you should be fine.

It might be slightly bottlenecked, but you'll still great performance.

Thanks for the reply - my X1800XT is very close to one of my hard drives but may just change the HDD layout to make room. Want to hold on to my 4000+ until some more multi-threaded games come out then go Conroe....
