here you go also i advice u return that 5500, its just a OCed 5200 and the 5200 is too slow to really make use of the 256mb ram, its called marketing they know people will buy the cards based on the ram on the card it self instead of the card performance.
The PSU is needed for the mobo the mobo req a True ATX 2.0 12volt psu not a 20 pin 23029watts but a true ATX 2.0 12V.
Also the mobo is the best PCIE 939 mobo you can get. the XL matches the 6800GT some games the 6800GT edge out and some games the XL edges out.
atm the X800XL PCIE(279) is the cheaper then the PCIE 6800GT(350) Both will play games great.
also you can just oc the cpu past a 3400+. jus lower the ram divier down and regain it by ocing the cpu. u can get past the 3400+ with ease. on a stock cooler
Also Amd is not gonna have DDR2 for a while and DDR2 has higher lageny then DDR1 and use higher CL. which you dont want to use with a AMD.
This what i recommand.
