I posted a few days ago asking for suggestions on video cards to purchase.

After giving it some careful thought, I'm starting to wonder if it's in my best interests to just keep the x800 I got from pctech4free.com instead of selling it and buying something less powerful.

Do you guys think this is a good idea?

Like I said before, I do a decent amount of gaming, but nothing "over the top" so to speak...
I will be using a 20" flatscreen from tech4free.com most likely (assuming I ever get credit ? )

So what should I do?
Keep the x800 or go with this card http//www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-362&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE

I mentioned it in the first thread. Go back and see for yourself P

and you STILL didnt say whether or not it's TOO powerful for the computer (can it handle it?), and also whether or not its way more then I need (assuming it can handle it).

Too powerful? Hrmm...with that 350watt PSU you could be right there....I'm runnin a 500watt PSU in mine, got it off www.pricewatch.com for $35 bucks and this was over a year ago... Upgrade your PSU and keep the x800, you'll be glad you did.
