Acer and Geforce 9600 GT

Hi guys, i currenly own an acer desktop (M5620). it comes with a geforce 8600 gt graphics card, but i want to upgrade to the geforce 9600 gt.

anyone with experience upgrading on an acer desktop? anything i should look out for?

my mobo is G33T-AM.

the first SATA connector looks awfully close to the horizontal space for the PCIE though.... is this a concern?

it came with 300W psu.. but a friend helped me upgrade to 500W OCZ.

that should run a 9600GT fine (assuming it has the PCI-E power connectors, even then u can use an adapter), question is what ur budget is. u might be able to snag a better card that u missed that we people that breath gfx cards can help u find is there any specific reason you came out saying I want to upgrade to 9600GT?

try one of these cards, they offer a better performance then the 9600GT (a nice card still)

yeah i'm also on the side saying u should get a 4850. Great card for a great price. Don't waste your money on the 9600GT.

ATI does not spend as much as Nvidia in marketing, all those "the way it's meant to played promos at the start of each game.

you don't need to reinstall windows, just uninstall the old card's drivers and install the new ones from the ATI/Nvidia web site.
