Hey guys,
I recently bought an HP m9300t w/ the following specs for $650:
Intel Q6600 Would like to overclock (if possible)
500 GB 7200 rpm SATA 3G (3.0 Gb/sec)
3 gb of ram (2 x 1 GB, 2 x 512) DDR2 PC2-6400) Would like to upgrade
Blu Ray player
Nvidia 9300ge (its a joke...) Would like to upgrade
350 watt PSU Will have to upgrade for new Video Card to work?
Product Specifications and Configurable Options (from HP)

Waiting on my new monitor to come in Acer X193 19"

I regret not building my own system because I just don't know how. Also, I'm at a budget crunch at the moment.
So, the very first thing I'd like to upgrade is my Video Card, the 9300ge is just pathetic. I play Quake Wars: Enemy Territory and am probably going to buy Left 4 Dead as well as Call of Duty: World at War.
I was looking at a 9800 GTX+ but I think its simply too big. Does anyone know of a small one or will I be limited to a single slot card like the 9800 GT?
Really appreciate all of your help!
