i would looking into the newer asus or creative labs cards..cl on there older cards never made a full version of windows 7 drivers. they kind of let ms make the driver for there older product. the card will install in windows 7. the only other part i would change is the power supply. i would use a a name brand power supply. look here or on hard cop forum or one that load tests there power supply in there reviews. there are junk ps that will take out your rig ad a drop of a hat. the only thing i add to the build is a 212 heat sink to the build or any after market heat sink like it. the intel heat sink suck with the plastic clips. I never use them i like the after market ones with the metal legs and screws..they go on better and cool better then the intel stock one.
