My E8500 is my CPU, not my video card.
My video card is a 7200......

The PSU calc just told me with my current setup, I'm only pulling about 212watts out of a 450W PSU.

If I put myself up to a GTS250, I'll swing myself up into the 300's watts, and if I OC w/ a 9800 GX2, I'd put myself around the 435W area.. Looks like my PSU is fine for now.

I think I'll be settling around the GTS250 or the 9800, mostly because I don't have $300 to drop on a VGA card with a shatty motherboard...
