Im planning on buying a Nvidia geforce 8800 graphics card is there more than just the card to great

I am planning on getting a geforce 88000 graphics card but Im not a huge computer genius. If I buy this will I be disapointed in the results. I mean is there more than just the graphics card to make a smooth great gaming experience? Please supply me with what I need to know about good Graphics Cards and Computers for the best gaming experience. I was looking at this site to just browse around.

Hi Seth as long as the rest of your pc is up to scratch (at least mid range dual core cpu and 1-2 gigs ram) u should be fine.

BUT, Don't get the gts. the gts is old technology now that the new _gt_ has come out. the gt is a much faster card.

This new chipset really is impressive. Up until a couple of months ago something this fast would have cost over $600.

yeah 8800 series is good for gaming.......dont know your specs so it is hard to say if you can just plop this card in and run smoothly.....you need a decent psu to run these cards.....no less than 450 watts is what i think you need.....cpu comes into play...pretty much need a dual core, and ram also comes into play here.......if your running xp 2 gigs should do and vista 2-3 gigs is what ya need.........tiger direct is good, another good place to try is newegg.com......cant really help to much more....thats just the basics for a decent comp.......i would definetly check the wattage on your psu though so ya know what you can get.......
