[editline]19th December 2010[/editline] And I don't like the PSU, but I couldn't find anything else with 4x6-pin connectors at that price point.

The PSU price has a little wiggle room. I was under the impression you could install Windows multiple times with OEM; I bought OEM 32 bit a while back and I have used it a few times. [editline]19th December 2010[/editline] How about this PSU? [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171052[/url] Or this one?

I have looked at benchmarks and reviews and they seem to have very similar performance.

I think the deal with OEM OS's is that it's registered to your hardware, so if you get a new computer it won't work

Oh, well that's fine because I won't be getting a new one for a long time after this one.

I wanted to get this 470: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125338&cm_re=470-_-14-125-338-_-Product[/url] Reviews say it's a lot cooler than stock.

That is a bit out of my price range, my budget is fairly tight.

if you want to spend the least there's an 6870 for $220 on newegg

No that's not part of the issue, what I have now is perfect in price so I just need to know that everything is compatible and if there are better options for similar pricing. Thank you though.

You don't have a CD/DVD burner, in case you didn't notice :v:
