Ok, so I'm pretty sure I've got everything together correctly. There was a lot to it though, so I can't be sure until I get the graphics card and boot everything up. The case is jammed, haha. I tried managing the cables a little, but it's just not happening.

Yeah that's what I did with the spare cables. The cables on this power supply are huge though haha.

I'm gonna be running Vista Home Premium.

By the way, what speed do you recommend setting the fans to?

You could do a better job with the cables! Those are all rounded and sata. I had it better when I used IDE cables!

Ok so I installed everything last Friday and it's been up and running since then. I love it. The video card is HUGE haha.

I installed all the drivers for everything, and my Vista performance is now rated at 5.5, does that sound right?

Only problem is that when I'm going into games, I don't think it's detecting things right. For example, I went in to play Oblivion and it recommended I play on Medium graphics. This game is two years old and I'm way above the recommended specs for it. Is my video card and everything being detected correctly? The full 1GB I mean. All I installed for that was the Catalyst drivers from the ATI website. Is there anything else I have to do?
